Just got back last night from Bali. I went via Sydney to and from Auckland. Caught the 9am Qantas flight to Sydney then Garuda to Bali with 2 hour stop over. This gets you into Bali at 4pm which is great.
Security was evident in most popular places. Bars were a little quiet but as always service was just fantastic.
Bali is such good value for money it is a shame you never see it advertised here in NZ now Garuda have pulled out. Only see a few Kiwis now in Bali and I cant ever see this fall off changing.
I am going back and will take some friends with me.
