Hi All,
I am leaving on Saturday flying alone on JQ35 from Melbourne and am VERY excited (first time to Bali!)
I have a couple of questions, if anyone would be able to help me out.
1. Has anyone booked their holiday through Garuda Orient Holidays? We have our land portion booked through them, and I am supposed to be getting a Hotel Transfer to Nusa Dua, but am wondering how the whole Transfer thing works - will they have a sign with my name on it? Where do they transfer people usually wait when you leave the airport? And any other hints that may come in handy?
2. Is it worth while for me to change some money over here before I go to Bali so I have some Rupiah on me, or do it all when I get there? Will there be any difference in exchange rate?
3. Is the beach at Nusa Dua OK to swim in, I am petrified of sea creatures great and small and some idiot at my work thought it would be appropriate to tell me there are sea snakes in Bali, so now I am freaking out like a child! So in all seriousness, what are the chances of a sea snake trying to consume me whilst I swim?
4. Is there plenty of transport available on the spot if we wanted to go into Kuta, Jimbarin Bay etc. of an evening for a meal, or is this something you have to pre-arrange to make sure you can get there and get home?
5. And finally, I really would appreciate any other hints and tips for a first timer, or any info you have about Nusa Dua that you would be kind enough to share?
Thanks everyone, I will be definitely posting a JBR when I return!
