Top three things to do if you're in Bali

Rent a scootie
Those automatic hondas, yamahas, vespas et al are not only the greatest fun to run around in, but it helps you beat the traffic jams, and in Bali nothing is very far.
We stayed at Nusa Dua and it was fifteen minutes to Legian, Kuta beach, Seminyak and about an hour to the mountains. And it's by far the cheapest option. Rent is about 7 bucks, and gas is about a buck for two litres which will keep you going all day. If you don't have an international license, make sure you have fifty thousand rupiah in one pocket only as that's the er fees you'll be charged by the cops. They'll obviously ask you for more, but that's the time you pull out your pockets and say that not only did you leave your wallet home but the only cash you got on you is the fifty and they'll let you go ...


Go for the watersports
Very well organized and while not all that cheap they're very good value for money. The Parasailing experience was incredibly thrilling to say the least. The jetskis were also great. If there's a bunch of you, then the banana boat option is a cheaper way to go tripping over the sea. They also have surfing lessons, and while I didn't do this it looked like loads of fun.



Join the cooking class at Bumbu Bali
It's a nice way to meet interesting women er I mean people :) But the class by Heinz Von Holzen were also a fascinating compendium of balinese lore, cooking tips, market tours,
spice combinations, and of course a fantastic way to sample authentic balinese food. I didn't realize until this class that what I'd been eating till then was actually Indonesian and not Balinese food.
