Hi just back from 2 weeks in legian staying at the Puri Raja, for anyone staying or planning to stay near the hotel BEWARE the new hotel behind Mozzarellas is very large and VERY noisy, it affects the puri Raja, Niksoma, Ossotel, and Beach Melati, if you are planning to stay in any of these properties you may wish to reconsider, the work is from 7am until very late, sometimes 2 am.
The streets around Legian and Seminyak were basically deserted, all the restaurants very touting very hard for business as were all the sellers, weather was hot and humid.
This is the quietest i have ever seen Bali, bear in mind other things were happening on an island close by, but all the locals were very concerned, Bintang still being sold everywhere, as usual!.
The rate was around 10,200, better than i expected, spent most of the time doing bugger all, a great pastime if you ask me.
More to follow.
