Stayed at Yuli Beach Bungalows, opposite Melasti Hotel down the lane right to the end. What a magical spot. 4 Bungalows, fully equiped kitchen , seperate lounge tv, 2 brms. Just the perfect spot, minutes walks to restaurants, beach. The staff are fabulous.Its not the flashest of places, but clean comfortable , great pool and ambience about the place. No fighting over pool chairs, perfect hideaway.
took a bali virgin over with me and another friends whos been there once before. Had the best time. Got on the back of bikes and went everywhere. As Ive been to mountains so many times before decided not to go and sent Bali virgin with my man Ketut off to the volcano, she had a ball and cant wait to go back to bali again, another one hooked. I had labels and tags printed , so cheap, starting up designer dog jackets, one of a kind, all original. So if anyone is interested let me know. Ate at Warung Mura in Legian many times, so cheap and food awesome. Brekky at Warung on the beach up towards KuDeTa, cheap and the best friend eggs and Mie Goreng ever, and the peanut sauce to die for. I always eat at the local places, I take Colostrum tablets with me and take around eight of them a day and have done for the last 10 or so trips and havent been sick once. Found the nicest wine I have had in Bali at Bali Beach HOtel in Garlic Lane. Its called Two Islands Chardonay and also Shiraz. Grapes are from Aussie and made in Bali. You get a balloon glass size , 1/2 glass for 50,000 rupiah. And on Thurs Frid sat nights you get the tranny show thrown in. Moved from the Hulu club to there, such fun and great entertainment, with lots of laughs. Had an awesome white leather jacket made and red high heeled boots from the tailor at the end of our lane, Jacket was 700,000 and boots 400,000. such a magic job, bought an awesome red bag to go with it. The usual shopping done, great sarong shops in Double Six, got wholesale price bought 5 for 17,000 each. cheaper is you buy heaps.
The girls got hammered on the beach and have so many trinkets and stuff, but they had the best time. the weather was perfect, no rain, 31 during the day and around 25 at night. Hard to come home to gold coast with 5 degrees in the mornings, YUKKKKKK.
Poor Ketut, eight people died in his village in two weeks. So tragic, mostly old, but one 13 yr old who fell off his pushie and two weeks later died of internal injuries, so sad, so he had much to do for preparation of all these cremations.
I always go with Ketut to see his mum and dad in the village and give them some money and clothes. they are so nice and welcoming . Always bring them things they need, next time will bring some sheets and pillows. took heaps of lipsticks and nailpolishes for the beach girls outside Jayakarta.
Had the best time, planning my next trip for end of year and then hopefully a month next June, and if my business comes thru early then off to Bali sooner.
I look outside now its raining and overcast and miserable, I wish I was back there because she really is "Cantik", she is "beautiful" she is "Bali"
