1. Safari park is way past sanur, its not that expensive and a great day. Sorry cant remember what we paid.
3. Take an unlocked mobile with you and get a XL Bebas phone - to make calls to home just dial 01000 first followed by 61 (country code) then 2 (this is nsw - you always drop the 0 even in mobile numbers) then the number - its very cheap doing it this way.
4. Yes they are safe aslong as you dont get that drunk that you dont know what you are doing, just play it safe!!
5. There are so many nice places to eat but one which is near the bounty is Warung96, its down the lane and across from the Barong Hotel, great food and really cheap!
6. They are everywhere, good handbag shop is in the first section of poppies 2 (beach end) they have heaps of nice bags.
7. We went to the Hindu orphanage in Denpasar, was great, but there are heaps.
8. Our driver is Ary - 081 338 591 749, he is a great guy, tell him Phil & Tracey said to ring, he was Taj Burrows driver for the surf comp.
9. If you mean real tattoo yes definately either go to Bali Ink in Tuban or Wyan Batu Poppies 1, both excellent. If hannah tatto be careful as they can burn and turn out pretty nasty, do a small one first.
10. Ignore them.
11. Yes there is a shop on Poppies 2 sorry cant remember the name.
12. Go to Centro or Matahari for your makeup, Revlon really cheap, centro have some nice accessories too especially downstairs.
13. Semporeo or something like that, hubby loves them!!
18. Yes bottle water is fine, just make sure the seal is not broken.
19. Unless you are really experienced on moto then I wouldnt do it, taxi and drivers are cheap, you dont need to and you will not be covered by your insurance unless you have an australian motor bike licence & international licence - give it a miss.
Hope I have answered some of your questions for you, take some sunscreen with you too as its pretty expensive over there, also good idea to take aqua ear...........have a great time........cheers Trace
