The traffic to & from the West is horrendous - very dangerous. Non stop overladen trucks going to & coming from the ferry from Gilimanuk to Java, driven by over tired drivers. It's a nightmare. I'd get a good guidebook (Lonely Planet &/or Rough Guide- whichever is more recent) which covers all routes with suggestions of places to stay.

Going around the East Coast then down from Lovina would be a lovely trip. Try to stay at Munduk for spectacular mountain views. I'd stay 2 nights min at each place en route. Selamat Jalan.
