just got back from staying in Legian area and it is a nightmare the roads!!! Quicker to walk around then worry about taxis. Our plane was also full flying over but on the ground Legian appeared deserted also except for the melasti beach resort. We also thought the beach was particularly filthy this year and more rubbish than ever. We saw a dead turtle wash up onto the shore one day.
I have never been to bali in January before and was a little concerned about the rain but when it does rain it only pours for about 20 minutes and then it clears to a beautiful hot day. it is rather humid but when shopping i used to go into the air conditioned shops to cool off and then trot off again for some more retail therapy.
