Hey everyone.
I will be heading to Bali in December for about 2.5 weeks. I have a few questions that I'm hoping to get advice on. I have some of the time planned out (since I'm a bit of a planner) but am not sure to do with a few days I have. I am female and traveling by myself, so as much as I'd like to show up and just go with the flow, I prefer to have loose plans. Here is what I have so far:
-3 nights in Padangbai
-4 nights ???
-6 nights in Ubud on Yoga retreat
-3 nights in Nusa Lembongan for diving
So here are my questions:
- I'd really like to do some day trips from Padangbai to see Tenganan Village, water palace, klungkung, etc. Is it best to just wait until I arrive in Padangbai and arrange for a driver to take me around? Or is it easy to take bemo to these locations?
- I would like to spend some time by Batur and possibly Munduk for some hiking and scenery. Is it easy to get to these locations or will I have to hire a driver? I'd probably prefer to spend the night in these locations, as opposed to just day trips.
- Are there "must sees" that I'm missing that I should think about scheduling for those 4 days? I prefer culture and scenery, I have no interest in partying or shopping.
Thanks for your thoughts everyone. Sorry for the long post.
