I have read heaps on this forum about this being dropped not being dropped. Well it cost $50 AUS to get in on Feb 17th. It was worth every cent to be allowed into this beautiful part of the World.
If you love Bali does this matter in the scheme of your holiday. If you have never been or are reconsidering not going due to this cost please don't you won't regret it paying this small charge to enjoy all that Bali offers.
