Two of us fly out to Bali in just over a weeks time. We have loads of plans including a 4 day PADI course. Any plans we have can easily be accomodated into our holiday as we are there for a full month.
I am of the point of view that there is no point flying half way around the world (I'm from England) to do what I could do (and have done many times) anwhere in Europe namely spend most of the time on the lash, hungover or sat on my arse on the beach. I am therefore going to spend time on Lombok, the Gilis and Kodomo.
This is where it gets a little more complicated. We are meeting up with a couple of girls who have been out for a month already in Thailand etc. We will all be together for about 10 days (at most) before they head back to the UK. We would Ideally all like to spend time in Kuta clubbing and drinking etc, and also to all go together to Lombok, the Gilis and to Kodomo. Is this a realistic plan or will time be our enemy? ( I reccon that we will be able to cope with spending only a couple of days on the Gilis and maybe the same on Lombok, I do not know however what to expect of Kodomo.
Any help would be great. In particular the travel time and costs to get to Kodomo and any reccomendations as to the order in which we should travel.
