But.... spent 3+ weeks in Bali 5th November on.
First week near Candidasa at Royal Bali Beach Hotel about 6 km west of CD. Bought a timeshare 15 years ago...OK
Like CD. Some good restaurants ..obviously Vincents. New place Le 48 opposite Vincents worth trying.
We knew we were going to be ripped off by bemos from RBBC to CD but always managed to beat it down to 10K for the two of us.
Best triumph bemo to Padang Bai 20K... Some good restaurants there. Ready to come back waited at Bemo stop then approached by taxi tout ...50K back to RBC> Didn't negotiate but refused and and said I would wait for bemo. Guy came back with reduced offers, said aircon worth paying extra for again and again. I the end offered he 25K which I took. Driver refused to put aircon on so i did so and stopped him from turning off.
All drivers pleading no work but guy from Maya shop offered a good deal which I topped 25%.
Sanur many times before. Kesuma on south beach excellent. Next door Bamboo Inn also good.
North, Bonsai & Beach Cafe excellent.
Found a female tailor,Sarina (prob been found 10,000 times before) in Sindhu Market (No 19) that my wife revelled in.
