Hi jerrais, yes Leo can be used for local tours and transport either by car or scooter when you stay at Villa Agung. He also does airport pickups for transport up to Villa Agung. For local transport I use Bemos(5000rp) either to get into the main Lovina area or Singaraja - you go into Singaraja in a red Bemo and change into a blue Bemo at the terminal for local transport around Singaraja - just check that though, as I could have my colours reversed(be aware that they don't run after 7pm in the evening and there are not many running on Sundays due to it being the Balinese day off). Transport back from Lovina can be expensive, but Gus at Villa Agung will usually give you his mobile phone no. and will come and pick you up after your meal if it is not too late. Or he will send Nyoman the Saturday night security guard to pick you up if it is on a Saturday that you are dining out. Just make sure if you are staying out of the main Lovina area that you negotiate a price for your transport. A few fellas on scooters wanted to give me a ride into Lovina for 15,000rp or 20,000rp. I just laughed and said no way. I never pay anymore than 10,000rp, afterall the Bemo is only 5,000rp. Hope this helps a bit. Cheers Cheryl
