In Reply to: 1st time to Bali posted by surferchick on Wednesday, 2. March 2005 at 13:43 Bali Time:
We are a family of four- five that go to Bali for the surfing every year.
We usually stay two nights in legian as part of our package and then we catch the perama from Sanur and spend two weeks in Nusa lembongan. We stay at a place called puri Nusa, Shipwrecks break is directly out the front, not the best place on the island but they are our friends. we pay 100,000rp per night for a family bungalow and the adjoining room. There are absolutely heaps of places to stay on the island and all between 50,000 to 100,000rp per room per night. Heaps of restaurants. no need to book just arrive and check out a few. Some have hot water, Ketuts does, just go left when you get off the boat, Mandala that is out the front where the boat stops is also good.
The island only has electricity from 4pm until 8am and all day sunday, but a lot of the places have their own generator.
We arrive on Lembongan on the 29th March and I am so excited. We also finish our holiday with 5 nights at legian and we tend to surf Ulu's, Bingin and Canguu. We hire a car and drive but a driver will also take you. Happy to answer any questions.
PS Take booties.
