Hi guys.....Arrived 4th Sept. leaving Friday.
1st things first - NO ...NEW MOON.....(twilight sequel) is not out yet :(..........
Flew Air asia. Was good flight. No dvds on chairs so gets pretty boring but any flight is the same really....Someone kept popping of on the plane so it got pretty smelly by the time I arrived to Bali. Was gagging. But all in all the flight was cozy but would reccomend a chair pillow. seen them at perth airport where you can hang them around your neck...
Staying at Padma Hotel, Legian....Absolutely lovely. Satying with family and as a single person, Im sharing with my mum and stepdad and cost me $700 aud to get a extra bed put in there which I found very prisey but includes beaky. Cant complain about the hotel. location is great as is the greatest buffet breakfast I have ever seen. Wow...tlk about variety.
The pool is good. bit crowded for my liking but good. so is swim up bar :) :).
Prices on street -
Drinks at hotel is approx 80 000 rph for cocktails and street 50 000 approx
Drinks and food are definately cheaper outside of the hotel grounds. Been to many great resteraunts. Goshas in Legian is great!!!!
getting the following thigs for these approx prices -
sarongs 20 000 ea
bintang singlets 40 000
