We arrived in Bali 1st of March for a week and found Bali very busy even though Nyepi Day was on the 5th of March . The weather was pretty good with most rain late at night or early morning , one afternoon around 6pm in poured for a good hour and turned streets to rivers . We got between 8700 and 8870 for our Aussie dollar . We all enjoyed the celebrations before and during and after Nyepi day . Would we come on Nyepi day again , yes we would , the cultural aspect was fantastic . Being stuck in the hotel wasn't that bad if you prepared for it . We did the dolphin encounter , which was out of this world . Attempted to climb Mt Batur , but my youngest daughter was very ill around the 1or 2 km mark so we turned around and came home . We also had a blast at waterbom park . Ate some fantasic Indonesian food and drank a bit of bintang .
