Hi all this is my first ever posting,We were in Bali for the 3rd to the 10th Feb,Leaving Brisbane was good checking in the guy at the counter said we cant even get tickets this cheap which made us feel good us being me 39 and my 18 year old son, We got jet star tickets through there friday frenzy sales, Night one we were ready to leave altogether almost falling down holes in the foot paths big enough to lose one of there scooters,My son just came back from schoolies in phuket and loved it so he was compairing the two, Anyway it got much better the next few days,we hired scooters from a guy we met ($6) for two a day so cheap, We met a young girl selling the little leather braclets on the streets and she fell in love with my son as did every massage girl in bali, it turned out to be her birthday the following day and we went to her house just off the main street and met with her and her family about 10 living in two rooms, we were going to the zoo the next day and they sort of invited them selves which we didnt realy care it was nice to give too young girls a day out. By the fourth day we pretty much brought everything we needed from all the stalls and we started to get sick of the guys trying to sell everything to us we did meet some lovely people which Baliis famous for, we stayed in the kuta lagoon hotel which is getting dated but its a cheaper hotel and is well worth it and the location is great,we also went out to nusa dua (SP) for all the water sports highy recomend the flying fish, got caught by the police three times riding the scooters my sons first time cost him $100000 which we later found out way over the odds second time he payed $50000 and i also had to pay the same amount, the last occasion my son just took off and left the police standing there,Anyway my thoughts on Bali well Kuta mainly is go and check it out but only for 4 days max, i can not see my self returning for the simple fact there is so many other place i have not seen yet.
