I hope I dont bore you to tears but I feel I would like to tell you all a little story of what happened when I was in Bali in June....I asked Nyoman Silver to make me a $2 coin "Bali Good Luck" ring as a gift for my girlfriend.We were flying out two days later and I thought we may be pushing it to have it done by then but Nyoman said he would so I paid a deposit and left him with it.On the day we were to leave I saw him again during the day and reminded him that we would have to leave the hotel about 4pm.Well you wouldnt believe it there was a wedding ceremony somewhere towards Seminyak and all of a sudden as we were about to leave all the traffic started coming up the road the wrong way and Nyoman wasnt back at his stall !! I was SOO dissappointed but what could I do.Our driver Wally is brother-in law to our friend Rico who we usually have drive us and I told Wally of my dilemma but he wasnt able to do anything.Well upon returning to Bunbury I decided to fax Rico a copy of Nyoman's card and explain what had happened.I told him my girlfriend was coming to Bali and I would send the remaining money with her and could he see if he could get the ring for me.Well my friend has just returned and I have the lovely ring!!! How good is that folks when we are in a different country altogether and the service is that good and these people are so honest!!So I can warmly reccommend both "NYOMAN SILVER" in Jl.Padma Utara opposite the Puri Raja HP 081338642494 and "RICO" 0011+628123913 also from Jl Padma Utara.He is a VERY VERY good driver and guide who has a great sense of humour and speaks very good english(also I believe some German !!)and for whom nothing is too much trouble(yes I sent a tip with my girlfriend to be given to him if he helped her).Doesnt it restore your faith in human nature !!Pleas use these guys if you can when you are next in the area and tell them Nelly reccommended them.Ciao
