In Reply to: impact of economy on your plans posted by Burti on Thursday, 12. March 2009 at 14:01 Bali Time:
We were lucky to get cheap fares for July, like everyone else!
It isnt so much the World Economy that altered my plans but the price rises in Bali.
We had to cancel a booking at Bali Rani because priced in USD just made it too expensive for this year.
We have found good accomodation priced in Rp that suits our needs.
We have always been able to do well on $100 AUD per day but last Sept/Oct found we needed $150 p/day.
Prices of food,drink (not Alcohol)and activities had risen quite alot.
Not whinging here just stating the way we found it to be.
As much as we love to go to Bali once a year I think it may be a while longer from this visit to the next!
