Had xmas and new year in Bali , what a great time !! Bali is extremely busy at the moment but we still had a great time , getting taxis isnt a hassle but sitting in the traffic was a drag.
We stayed at the Febris and where very impressed with everything it is a 3 * hotel but every thing is clean the staff are great and the breakfast was good , not fantastic but good enough to get you through to lunch, we did not do a great deal except for shop and be together as a family, couple of things we did do were waterbom x 2 and watersports at nusa dua, not over impressed with the new ride at waterbom THE CLIMAX
it scared the crap out of me and then my daughter talked me into doing it again ( good times )
New years walking the beach was chaos but great the fireworks going off non stop and the masses of people, something you would never see in Aus , Christmas was low key and we booked a cabana at waterbom and spent the day there.
Restraunt recommendations :Batan Waru (chicken curry yummmm ) neros, el cilio opposite dynasty, Indian at front of dynasty, drops, and a few others i can't remember all in all we didn't have a bad meal.
If you can get the holidays and afford the extra charges at the hotels I would recomend xmas / new year in bali we had a ball.
