Flew AA from Perth. 20minutes late leaving. Lots of spare seats so wife and I jumped into an empty row. Three seats. Good but bad. Someone up front had a bad case of flatulence. All flight.
Arrived 15 minutes lates and quick through everything including waiting for cases. Taxi prices have gone up since March.60,000. This time 70,000rp. Still cheap.
Staying at SiDoi in No Benesari. Good room and location. Taxi all the way to the lobby.
First three days just checking prices etc as we have plenty of time. Total 23 days.
Money change. Monday 9940. Tuesday 10000. Today 10190. The best we have ever seen. Had a couple of bintangs at the Bagus and MEI goering the first night. Still the coldest vibrant and great cheap food. Next night had pork ribs at Ahdi Dharma cottages. the sauce was to die for.
Went to discovery today and still the same. All the shops are occupied which is rare in Bali. At lunch at the bakery centre back. Good food not the best iced coffee I have had. Went over the road to Bali brumby to get a price on some shirts and logo's. Price tomorrow.
Walked up to stadium for a cold Bintang. The place has gone downhill with a warm Bintang and @ 35,000 each. They have to be joking. Sakura DVD over the road closed. Jocelyns shoes still open at Kuta square although shop is smaller now. Mataharri's have closed a lot of departments. Nothing for us men to look at now.
Purchased a couple of DVD's and arranging f some more to be put on a memory stick.
Taxi back to hotel. Price is up a bit but still cheap.
More in a couple of days.
