Just remembered a GREAT mojito at the (New?) Champagne Bar on Jl. Oberoi! Interested bar, great uniforms selling exxxxxpensive champagne, Verve, Moet etc but also reasonably priced cocktails and beers (served with its own ice bucket..cool!!).
But I cant help feeling this bar wont last long!
Oh and Dee just reminded me of another nice mojito at Oceans27 on the beach in front of Discovery Mall.
The Haven did a good latte and excellent double expresso!
Bestest Cafe in Jl. Dhyana pura wasnt as good as I remembered but ok!
The Tuck Shop (on Hell corner - start of Jl. Oberoi) did the best latte.
On leaving at airport (its ridiculas how much our hand luggage got checked at Denpasar) have to mention the same little cafe I have parting Bintangs in - not sure what its called but it has had the same orange chair covers and you can smoke in there ("as long as you buy drink"....derrrrrr!) They play great music (we listened to Bali Belly dance) and teh staff have a bit of fun! I dont think they have washed those chair covers since 2003 either!! If youve only got your last 100 000rp or so to spend...dont worry about the Prada, Dewi etc lounges.....order a large Bintang between 2 for 35 000rps.....after a few of those the flight home was good...was actually, we both slept for at least 4 of the 6 hours back to Melb!
Three more tips!! If you see something you want..BUY IT then and there!
Definately have at least 2 massages a day...I always come back wishing I had more!!
And never, ever think that your spending too much money!! You get to the airport in oz and spend a days worth in 5 minutes!! ;-)
