I have loved the posting to the group. I will be off to Bali for 17 days 7th March flying from Perth in the Morning. I am going with my wife and we plan to have two holidays in one. The first being s bike ride for 7 days, doing it back packer style from the Lonely Planet Book, and the second Holiday or 10 Days at an up market hotel. We have booked all the flights and the last 10 days accommodation, the 1st part will be up to us. The questions that I have are the following:
1. Should we get an shots before we go?
2. Have any list members done the Lonely Planet Trip?
3. We arrive in Bali at 10.30am how long will we be in customs?
4. Getting out of the Airport with the bikes (We are taking them with us from Perth) will that be tricky?
5. Finding accommodation with loosemen, what time of the day should that be done by?
6. Our 1st stop is Candikuning, will we pass and money changers and people to plait my wife's hair on the way?
7. Anyone taken bikes to Bali before? Would like to know were a service station is near the airport to inflate tyres?
Thank you for your time and I hope to have a web page up and running once the trip is finished.
Yours truly,
Peter
