Stayed at Poppies Bali - Kuta, Indonesia.
|
Kuta is a little busy - not the place to go if you want seclusion. The people selling things on the beach can be very annoying. Look around to see what things cost before you buy anything.

Stayed at Ibis Arcadia Hotel - Jakarta, Indonesia.
|
Jakarta is a good place for shopping and to make arrangements to travel to other parts of the country, not a place where you want to spend more than one or two days.

Stayed at Bali Holiday Resort - Bali, Indonesia.
|
The problem with Bali, is that you get continuously harrassed (politely) by all the merchants,peddlers who want to sell you something. So learn these words: NO, THANK YOU because you will be using them a lot. You cannot walk 5 meters without being offered something to buy.
The place I enjoyed the most was Jimbaran Bay, for the quiet and relaxing beach and for the excellent seafood served in the many restaurants located right there on the beach. You must have dinner there (at sunset) it is magical.
A placed I liked particularly for the panoramas are PURI THANAT LOT and PURI ULUWATU. The view of the volcano and the lake at KILIMANTAN is impressive.
Nothing is expensive in Bali. Great dinner and drink for about Rp 37000. I used taxis (very cheap) to get around all those places.
Woodcrafting is incredible and I wish I could have brought back a lot more things with me (I could hardly close my suitcase).
