In Reply to: Good idea if you check posted by Colleen on Tuesday, 11. January 2005 at 00:41 Bali Time:
Firstly i agree with Coleen's posting about hiring a car as a first timer to Bali, they do drive very differently in Bali. It's also a very good way to see the main tourist spots when you don't know what or where they are, and it gives you a chance to get a feel on how the traffic behaves, if you know what I mean. However I feel that if you decide to return to Bali again you then would miss out on so much of the rest of what Bali is about if you don't hire. We have had the fortune to visit Bali a few times now and I would never not hire. Find a good hire company and go back to the places you want to see again at your leisure and then go explore Bali. There are many good maps available so there is no more chance of getting lost than in your own country. How ever you do it, enjoy the day.
