I am no longer a Bali Virgin!!!! And proud of it!
Bali was AMAZING!!!! I cant stress that enough. The thing is.. I really cant tell you if it was the place or the people that I met on my trip.
I have basically put my JBR in my sequence with photos so you can see what I am talking about along the way.

But as you all probably read. I had a bad first day there having got ripped off.. I went to my room and was thinking "I HATE THIS PLACE!!!!". but I thought to myself I coudl either cry about it in my room or go to the pool for a cocktail! heheh so that is what I did and I never looked back!!!!
It was right then that I met the best of the human race in my pool! 2 kiwi boys and 2 guys from Sydney... Then a guy from Melbourne called Steve and then another called Andrew from Melbourne.
These people totally changed my life! I got really really close to the 2 kiwis and 2 guys from Sydney. I now consider them some of my best friends. They really made my trip. If you guys are reading this! Thank you so much!!!!! You are all amazing!!!!
Now back to Bali. Yes it smells like insence all over the place and its hard to see everyone being so poor, but the essence of Bali is more unbeliveable than you coudl ever imagine!!! They are beautiful people....
As for pricing. Since that is why I read everyones JBR's... Do a search for "Ultimate price list" and you will have it. It was my bible while I was there. It was 100% accurate...
To sum up what I did briefly..
Nusa Dua - First time on a Jet skii and loved it!!!!! Go see Suzie at Pub Bugus and you will get to do 15 mins jet skii 5 mins parasail and a bananaboat ride for 170,000RP.. including driver. It was fantastic!
Waterbom park - It is $18.50US and opens and 9am. Be there early to get your own Kabana! Most people only stayed a couple of hours but if you read in my pictures... I loved it and stayed the hole day...
Jamborin Bay - Beautiful. I would suggest everyone does this! It is really romantic. And if you are not up for romance its just really fun!!!
Lake Butur and the Volcano - It was OK.. I am glad I went but it wasnt the highlight of my trip...
Ubud - Went through quite quickly. Again its something that you have to see but not a huge highlight for me. The rice terraces were beautiful though....
Tenah Lot - Definately a must do since it is so close. Its only about 45 mins away and interesting if you go to the holy spring....
That about raps it up for me!
Terimagasi Bunya ! (Thank you very much) To all those people that answered all of my silly questions before I went. You guys helped me so much! When I got there all the guys thought I was a real nerd with all the knowledge and notes I had with me! hahah but who did they come running too when they didnt know how much to pay for something? Yeah!!!! Thats right! The nerdy girl. hahahaha
I am sorry to those who went to Melbourne Cup! I went there but had no idea who to look out for! I asked around for about half an hour and no one knew what I was talking about so I left and went back to Pub Bugus where my friends were....
Helen! I am sorry for not meeting you! I had Bali Belli that day and had lost my phone. I had put your contact details in my phone... so I coudlnt remember where you were staying to let you know or to catch up! I am really sorry!!!!!!
Anyway thanks everyone! I hope this JBR is up to expectation. Look through the link below for exactly what I did and what I thought.....
For all those about to go... I hope oyu have as wonderful trip as I did!!!
