In Reply to: Nyepi-How Restrictive Are The Hotels? posted by Sandra#1 on Saturday, 6. February 1999 at 17:28 Bali Time:
We have been in Bali for 2-3 Nyepi days. The hotels we stayed in operated as normal. The only restriction is you cannot go out the front gates. It makes for a reasonably expensive day as the meals and drinks in the hotels are alot more expensive than on the street, but it also makes for a very relaxing day. The day before Nyepi is quite exciting, with parades on the street with different statues carried along at night. We will be there for this Nyepi day also. Last year we went home the night of Nyepi, so our kid missed the parades, so we are looking forward to it. Alot of the shops are closed the few days before and few days after Nyepi, so don't rely on doing shopping within Nyepi week.
