1 There was accomadation available at cheaper prices as my taxi driver continuously reminded me but I didn't fancy it but it was there and I think it would of been OK standard.
2. Sanur is quite cheap me and the wife could easily stuff our faces spending no more than 6-7 USD
3. The galleria in Sanur don't bother visiting very posh but also very expensive don't see the point of buying goods that I can get at pretty much the same price back home. It doesn't compare with galleria in Nusa Dua which is pretty good
4. The volcanoe I thought was pretty rubbish wouldn' visit it again
5. Haggling can be good fun always start at 10% of the asking price and you should meet somewhere in the middle. Don't be put of by the expression on their faces when you only offer 10% it's all a part of the game plan.
6. 5 star hotels do not bargain they have there prices and that's it take it or leave it. Although I did get 10 USD of per night at Grand Bali Beach Hotel by fluke, we agreed on 90 at the airport and when I got there they booked me in at 80!
Some more points will occur to me later on and I'll add them to the list
