Your biggest issue will be airfares. I just bought some for roughly June 27 till July 10 or so. Best I found was $1100. In saying that, I'm hoping to do the whole trip for $1500. Find yourself cheap flights ASAP. Note: mine are from Melbourne return with std luggage allowance. PacificBlue.

My trip is primarily a Surf trip however I'm hoping to get a few kites in though. In either Sanur or preferably Nusa Dua. On that, does anyone know if anyone is renting kites in Nusa Dua this year? I cbf travelling with my kites for similar reasons as you, however lack of wind is BS. Prevailing wind tends to be and Easterly that time of year (I believe).

I'm probably a handful of KG heavier than you, I'm only taking my 6'10". Last year I found it was perfect except for when it got over 9' or 10'. Wasn't quite fast enough to paddle in. Mind you I probably shouldn't be in anything bigger than 8'.

I'm yet to make arrangements but I'm going to look for accom in Binging, a few of the nicer places I visited last year were about 20,000 Rp, so i'm hoping I'll get a reasonable place for $15 a night or so. I'll surf mainly between Balanging and Uluwatu. My folks are rocking up a few days before I leave so will probably stay with them at Ulu's.

Last year I paid about $4 a day for a scooter. Breakfast was included in my accom. I paid about $10 for dinner (entre/main) and a longneck. Lunches in the Warungs were just a few dollars.

As others have said if you chat to some Balinese you should find accom with a family for just a few bucks a night.

ps. will ya have a phone, maybe we should try and meet up for a kite.

I paid $800 return on jetstar about a month ago. leaving 6/7/09 returning 29/7/09. I am taking a kite and a few surf boards. I have taken a 6'10" gun the last few trips but never used it, I think i will leave it out this time. You will definitely be able to get by with that sort of money. just head to bingin or dreamland and stay out of Kuta.

use the net to try high traffic asian routes...
for example, fly into malaysia the grab an internal asian airline flight to bali,
or jakata then to bali,
or singapore then to bali
might be able to save a bit of cash

JUST DON'T FORGET TRAVEL INSURANCE!!!

guidz and i are hitting bali from the 30th. im bringing a 12 and lots of surf boards. any one else keen for a kite - hopefully or a surf ?

nrma or racv or whatever

though if you don't have an aussie bike licence, you won't have an international one

and therefore won't be covered if you stack

just don't stack.

Flights booked.

I have heard there is consistent wind in West Java, can anyone confirm?

And whats the go with getting a International Drivers Licence, i am planing on riding motorbike, and unless i have an IDL insurance will not cover me. Where do you apply for one?

Thanks.

When are you going?

I can give you all kinds of info-first trip was in 72' and I've been countless times since, including a stint living there.

PM may be more appropriate.

Hey Docter,

Is West Java actually dangerous; does **** go down.
or
Does it just feel like that???
