..the markets are open quite early and go on through the late afternoon, but, seriously, it's MUCH MUCH better to get there (esp. at Sukawati) as early as possible. You will avoid not only the crush of other foreign shoppers, but also the heat and the sheer desperation of all the sellers who have'nt made a successful sale all morning. At the major crossroads in Sukawati, be sure to venture down the narrow lane heading to Banjar Babekan. That's where the locals shop, very few tourists. Just have a look. Good Luck.
