Hi everyone
I'm new to this forum and will be going to Bali for the first time with friends on October 5 from Perth for 7 nights. We are staying at the Kuta Lagoon. I would love to hear from people who have stayed there ... is it a nice place and in a good location? Also, would appreciate some advice on where to go and what to see etc ... and what kinds of transport are best. We wont be hiring a car, will be using the public transport. Also need advice on exhanging money in Bali to the Rupiah .. people have told me to be careful as they will try and short change you ... has anyone experienced this whilst changing their dollars to Rupiah? We are not sure where the best shopping places are in Kuta ... does anyone have recommendations? We are looking to buy DVD's, CD's, clothes, accesories, and little things for friends back home. Would also like to pamper ourselves with day spas and massages :-)
Sorry to fire a thousand questions at you guys but I figured you would be the most help seeing as how you have all already been there.
Regards
Caroline
