i'm posting this here for people on a budget who are trying to get a sense of costs. in planning our trip, it was hard to get a sense of what might lie in store for us. so here goes:
our family of four easily (ie. without trying too hard)spent less than AUD$1,000 a week over a month, including accommodation, but not including airfares. we do, however, have little interest in shopping, and only one of us drinks and then only a small bintang a day. this is maybe where our costs start to differ. we spent quite a bit on drivers and waterbom park; ate a lot at small, local places and warungs. entry to cultural sites was small. when we did reach the kuta/legian area, we really noticed how much more things cost compared to quieter parts of the island.
