Hi just got back.. and for 2 weeks my husband and i spent $1700 australian this included all meals with entree excluding breakfast as we had that pre paid.. we also had loads to drink & my husband was constantly drinking bintangs which most large bintangs were approx 18000 rupiah upto 25000 at some places! we found it all way cheap and included in that 1700 we did loads of shopping and hired a driver for 2 days and did bali hai cruise we didnt go without anything i couldnt believe how cheap it all was this also included nappies, formula and baby stuff for our son!! another person with us only spent 1000 for the 2 weeks doing all the same of what we did..
we used to blue bird taxis at times which use the meter and they were still cheap as and often cheaper than a driver but we did find the darker blue taxis wouldnt run there meter and charge us way more so keep clear of the dark blue taxis just my opinion as we had this on more than one ocassion with them..
Have fun!!
