Indonesia – Page 8 – Simply cycling around

Kuta > Ubud (56km by car)

First day travelling in Bali and by car! From what we heard, people recommend to get a driver. We could not hide scooter as we have luggages. We finally decided to hire a car because we don’t have a special route to follow. We have some ideas but we preferred to be free to go where we want when we want. The first step is Ubud, one of the main destination for tourists. We had to start by something :-) Then we will spend the rest of our trip more in the countryside to discover Bali on its different facets.

Kuta, day off

My brother arriver yesterday evening and my mum and Gilles very early this morning. We are now all together in Bali for 10 days. Tomorrow we will start travelling around Bali so today we have a look around. Because of the dense traffic and our lack of knowledge about the fact that we were not sure if we could rent a scooter straight away we decided to take to bicycles provided by the hotel. They are definitively not the best one… First of all they are small, the gears don’t work on all of them we can’t change the height of the seatpost and the breaks are really light. Nevermind, Balinese people will pay attention to us, we expect!

Kuta, first day

This is the first picture I got from Bali, the airport :-) The flight was good. I paid $51 (AUD) for a 1 month visa and will have to extend it 10 days before the end to get another month. It’s now about 5:30 and I’m cycling to the hotel which is 14km north, in north Kuta. There is not much traffic now so I prefer to wait there than here.
