In Reply to: Suggested Itinerary posted by felmingham on Saturday, 15. July 2006 at 09:14 Bali Time:
with your partner, if you are forever packing up and moving on you don't get a feel for wherever you are and need a holiday to relax from all the moving. Bali is not that easy to get around, driving can be slow and I wouldn't spend less than 2/3 nights in one place.
Of course the driving is very picturesque and a big part of the holiday. Uluwatu/Jimabaran/Sanur can be done in day trips from Niksoma. Nusa Lembongan deserves a couple of nights (Bali Hai huts are lovely). Drive up through Pacung and maybe stay there then on to Lovina and stay at Rambutan for a couple of nights (longer if you want to take a day trip for diving)then perhaps head down the East coast through Amed (Bayu Cottages or Blue Moon very good)/Candi Dasa to Ubud. Leave a couple of days at the end to just veg out and do last minute shopping before you leave.
Hope this helps
