from perth. I knew where i wanted to go before i left home.landed at 11.30am,straight to hotel,jumped in the pool and had lunch and a bintang at the swim up bar.(kill 2 birds with the 1 stone,saves time)
Climed out and spent the afternoon doing the markets all around poppies 2 area etc.(Stayed at Bounty)
Had a massage about 6pm and then showered and set off for dinner.
After dinner went to mataharis.Back to hotel at closing, swim and drink and bed.
After brekkie had another massage and swim, went over to Bali Mall galleria and then to more markets.Had a lunch stop and then a swim and then headed to poppies restauarant for dinner as they have really fast service.Headed to the airport about 6 and flew at 8.(Garuda)
The other time i did it i even went over to Denpasar on the first afternoon.
The trick is to know where you want to go, make sure you have that swim and massage so you can relax as well. Stay at a hotel that is next to markets so you don't have to venture far.
I filled the suitcase to the brim both times and had a ball.
I think now geneva is open you could save time by going there instead of bargaining at all the markets.New shopping centre means staying close instead of Galleria also.
It really is amazing what you can fit into 1 1/2 days.
