First trip to Bali

Posted by jamesf on Monday, 11. June 2012 at 17:56 Bali Time:

Hi all,

First time poster. Organising a trip to Bali for myself and two friends for this August and looking for advice on a few things.

- How much should we budget for to spend daily? We're not interested in plush, five star resorts or eating in the best restaurants. Ideally we would like to do things cheaply as possible. We plan to be there for 2 to 3 weeks.
- Is it better to book the accomdation locally, rather than through travel agents/websites? We're all in our late 20s so will be looking for something close to the best nightlife.

Many thanks in advance.
