Well thankyou for all your info which helped our holiday to be exactly what we wanted. Since my travel agent suggested I read the forum, I have been addicted it. For months I have read, investigated, printed and filed all your great tips and ideas. So on Oct. 29 we set off on Garuda and could not speak highly enough about our flight. A quick exit to v.o.a. counter (usa dollars in hand) straight to the line suggested by the forum, all up 15 minutes, had our bags and on our way to the Legian Beach Hotel. Not expecting much after reading reports of over booking and other problems there, was pleasantly surprised. The nicest staff, beautiful grounds, reasonable rooms and delicious breakfasts. Not one thing to complain about. Very big resort so you do have to walk to the pool and restaurants from where our room was, but not really a problem. I had every bit of info filed into a folder so off we set on our big adventure. One thing I forgot to take were address of places, so we spent a lot of time trying to find restaurants and shops on my well organised list! On our 4th day, I finally found a street map of Kuta and Legian which was fantastic. I will be happy to fax it to anyone who needs it. We visted the bird park (fantastic) monkey forest in Ubud (dont like monkeys but very good) Mataharis in Denpasar(Ramayana around the corner much better) and Sanur(very quite). This was our 3rd trip to Bali, but we have not been for 13 years so we noticed big changes. We ordered our dvds from Helgie and also purchased a portable dvd player from him ( fantastic service) had leather coats made by Kubu leather (great quality), Visted Geneva bought trolley loads, toured with Elvi's (very realiable 200,000 for the day)eat at Uncle Norms, Indo-National, Pizza Hut, Rajas all very good meals and service. Going back next year, things i wouldn't leave home without, Detol wipes, street map, correct addresses, aussie dollars, fly spray, areogaurd, sunscreen, commfy shoes, bum bag, phone away card, very few clothes, as much aussie food as I can, very large suitcases(cases weighed 27.5kgs and 19.5kgs plus 2 carry on bags, huge back pack, dvd bag and camera case! I have all addresses and would be happy to answer any questions. Fantastic holiday, thanks again for all you help.
