2) Surfing
And I dont mean just bodyboarding! We really took lessons to ride the wave! Just dont imagine the hawaiian pipes and huge waves but it was damn fun! Push yourself up, jump up and place one leg in front and look like a surfer! Thats it!
3) Shopping!
there are very few people, according to the locals, the tourist number has dropped after the 2002 bombings. Shopping was good, practice my bahasa with an indonesian twang and a big bright smile and enjoy bargaining. You win some you lose some but have fun! A spag strapped knee length cost abt $7 sing. A sarong for about $2-3. Coffee is a good buy!
4) Uluwatu
We went to watch the Kecak Dance at Uluwatu. Its right by the cliff simply breathtaking. Lets see if I can upload a shot video of it here.

5) Food!
Bali has plenty of food! My favourite is the banana juice that is everywhere! Bali is known for their Nasi Campur, Mie Goreng and Grilled Seafood. Super good and cheap!
6)Babi Guling
Apparently there is this very good place near ubud so we hired a car and went out to check it out. It aint as great as Sitoh or Bourdain claims. Its at a place called Warung Ibu Okra. Give it a miss i would say!
Travel Details
We took Valueair and the whole trip of 5 nights with hotel transfer and one halfday tour and hotel with breakfast is $600 per px. Highly recommended to go and chill out. When I was there, I completely left my typical work mode behind and chilled out! IT was superb! Valueair is superb too! They have comfy leather seats, which are more comfy than the normal airlines, serve some food and give you a place to sit, so you dont have to scramble like other budget airlines.
