Hi ya,
how are ya? Well. It depends on if you will be driving/riding or not and how far you are going to travel. One Aussie lady that has a business there didn't even know about it for her delivery drivers. But the book is called "Street Atlas Bali" by Periplus andit is an 2003/04. We have used other Periplus sheet maps before and normally they were good enough. I actually found the roads really well sign posted and hadn't really needed them before but this time we wanted to travel a little more so it was good. I bought it at the Bintang supermarket in Legian/Seminyak for 145,000rps. We use this supermarket all of the time. We actually exchange money across the road at the money changers most of the time. They are really efficient and great rates, always changing as they hear the exchange change. NOt a PT Central but a similar thing.
Hope this helps.
Rumah Bali is not Villa Rumah Manis. Expensive? I don't think so. Remember that it is per villa and not per person. Includes transfers. It used to include a cooking course if you stayed there more than five nights and of course, an amazing breakfast at your villa. They have their own web page so check google for it. I think it comes under Bali eats? Try the link below. If you shop around, you can probably get a better price and they will always meet it. They are really very good people. Very professional yet homely.
