we used a driver called MANGDE
phone no 941043
he speaks english and we managed to bargain to about 150,000 Rp, although we ended up paying him a little more for unscheduled stops!! 150,000 Rp was a bit cruel on my wife's part. 160,000 - 175,000 Rp may be good. He gave us a full day trip. We managed to see Ubud, Kintamani volcano, Mas village (wood carving), rice fields, gua gajah (elephant temple or something) and some other place which had the president's palace near by. Mangde took us to this great buffet place just opposite Kintamani so the view was beautiful. In the end, we paid him 175,00o as we also managed to go to Uluwattu to see the sunset.
