Great JBR. Trying to picture the 4 of you in the shower together. That's a scary thought (LOL).
Sorry to hear about the ratty dinner (no pun intended), and the attempted rip-off. At leat you stuck to your guns and got results. Good for you! And I know exactly what you mean about the hawkers and time-share floggers at Kuta. The first time we went they nearly drove me mad. Reduced me to tears and had to take refuge in a bar.
Have to agree about the package tours. They're expensive, and time consuming. But that's the mistake most of us make the first time we go. Doesn't take long to figure out it's cheaper and easier to organise your own.
So are you going to go back to Bali to try it again? It took 3 visits before I decided I liked it enough to go back again. It really is a lovely place once you get used to it.
