Departed 1st June Garuda Melbourne flight 2 hours delayed due to fog, great flight, sat with people from country Victoria great company.
Checked in Bali Mandira, we stayed in deluxe room 308 no complaints, however we are thinking next trip would prefer accomadation with sitting area and not as upmarket any suggestions welcome.
Best Eats
Possies, Goshas, Breeze, Billy's Bar really no bad meals anywhere just firm favorite of these.
Spa's
Melista would have to be my favorite followed by Widia Linda in Padma St she is on same side of the road as Mandira first one from the beach.
Laundry
First day we had it done in house omg cost us $20, seeked out Sunrise Laundry in Padma Utura we will return there.
Linen
Had donna cover, bolster and pillow slips made to order at monica Collection JL. Sahedewa (garlic lane) very happy with all of theses and price.
Tailor
My husband had a leather vest made at Jurassic Leather in Garlic Lane Melasti end excellent workmanship and good price
Gifts
Found a great little shop just about opposite Sunrise Laundry run by Ketut she has some great clothe and beaded bags and also sandals her shop has every thing displayed on glass shelves and not over crowded, great bargains.
Must Do's
Bali Safari Park
Cooking class
Caution
Only one bad experience with seller, 2 shops from Possier crn up Padma Utara we made a purchase for 100,000 Rp hubby handed him money as quick as a flash he presented us with a 10,000 note and said wrong one, well he picked wrong person to do this to I hold all the small notes he only had the biggys hubby said he would call police and told him he was a bad man exchange was made promptly. This experience did not spoil any part of our holiday only 1 person out of thousands.
Returned home sadly on 13th June hubby trying to work out how we can return before next June.
Thanks all from this forum who have educated us about so many things about Bali looking forward to our 3rd trip.
