Posted by Drahi on Wednesday, 28. October 1998 at 16:17 Bali Time:
I have a few last minute questions if anyone can answer them:
1. Can anyone recommend a nice (romantic)place to have a birthday dinner in Tanah Lot? (or if not, in Kuta?) Are there any Balinese birthday traditions we can enjoy?
2. Is it safe to leave our souvenirs/valuables in the hotel room? If not, do the hotels usually provide safes/lockboxes?
3. Recommend: cash or travellers checks? Visa cards accepted at shops and restaurants?
4. HOTEL QUESTIONS: Will I be able to plug my blowdryer in at the hotel? We are staying at the Le Meridian Nirwana, which is pretty Americanized, I think, no? Should I expect the usual amenities at a Western hotel or am I way off? Also, does the hotel provide irons for clothing? Are there refrigerators in the hotel? (Don't think me a wimp: I don't mind roughing it, but the Nirwana sounds like luxury and I just want to know what to expect!)
Thank you, everyone, for your help!
