Most like the Tirtaganga(sp?)water gardens which are north of Amlapura...the biggest city in the region ( say 30 miutes by taxi). However I prefer the water palace at Ujung south of Amla. Both built by the same king but latter much more serine.
Otherwise try an afternoon in Padang Bai or up in the the hills inland from CD.
In CD you must have dinner at Vincents just east of the lagoon.
