may be largely dictated by the way you choose to travel.
If you rent a car, this is the best in terms of flexibility.
I would suggest taking the coastal route north, across the top, and back down through the middle, restricting driving to two or three hours a day max.
Follow the travellers guides, and maybe get the Bali Navigator system to help.
Walk in accomodation of various types is normally not a problem....but if you get caught out, there is always the car?!
Don't make it a charge around and see how far you can get exercise....that is not Bali.
Spend your time in exploring places, especially those that hit the right note for you.
