Hi....I have driven this heaps of times. The scenery is pleasant witgout being spectacular. When the road hits the coast it is very nice, There is lots of towns and lots of bastard trucks ['scuse the language] The trucks are very impatient and you will almost certainly encounter them coming towards you on your side of the road...dont panic...just 'make room' for them. Bling corners and crests do not have any significance for them. The big Parawisata Busses are even worse - they will overtake with cars coming towards them or on blind corners and then stop in front of you! Driving [for me] though is still fun, but you HAVE to really concentrate and take it pretty easy 80kmh max! I presume you are looking for surf?????? If so let me know and I'll fill you in!
PS we'll be ther in 6 weeks and yes, I will drive to Medewi!
