September 19, 201214 yr comment_627719 Hi all, so I'm going on holidays as we speak. Currently in Malaysia waiting for my connecting flight to Bali. Just wondering if anyone has been there before and knows of anything fun to do? Thinking of going a bit nuts. Wanna go white water rafting. Also thinking of getting a tat, but a bit unsure about their cleanliness. Any ideas welcome :) Thanks, JiP Report
September 20, 201214 yr comment_627746 I've been (as has almost everyone in WA). Rafting was fantastic. I would pass on the Tat unless you are some what of an expert. A few people have died from dodgy tats in Bali. Waterbom Park (not sure on spelling) is great, as is the Safari Park. This is a world class Safari Park so make sure you go if you haven't been to one before. Get yourself a guide and let them help you organise everything, our's was very helpful. We also went out to see the Volcano, the silver smithing and a traditional family home in the country, well worth the trip. It all depends what you are after.. if you just wanna drink and party there's plenty of that as well (not really my thing). Again, I would pass on the Tattoo idea, cheap is not always good for something like that. Enjoy! Report
September 20, 201214 yr Author comment_627794 Yeah we've found ourselves a guide. He is meeting us in the morning. on the drive to the hotel I even saw a pretty decent looking KE30. Shockingly considering how they drive here non of the cars have damage on them? Report
September 20, 201214 yr comment_627803 Mad old Toyotas everywhere there!! Heaps of FJ40's everywhere and lots of starlet's and rolla's once you get out of the city. Report

September 20, 201214 yr Author comment_627869 Well using up the free wi-fi here to show you all pics. Our plane to Malaysia... Our plane to Bali Pool bar!! :D Pool... Inside the pool... That awesome pool bar again... And the view from the rooftop terrace... So tomorrow we'll organise the white water rafting :D Report
September 21, 201214 yr comment_627968 I would avoid Balinese hospitals. I lost a bit of bark highsiding a stepthrough 125 off a gravel track, spent a few hours having a nurse of questionable hygiene scrape some of that gravel from my extremities. 2 stars, would not recommend Report
September 21, 201214 yr Author comment_627974 Me at breakfast this morning at our resort. Turns out the hotel only opened in July this year! Also stopped by Surfers Paradise today. ;) Tho was quite disappointed... Tonight we hope to be hitting the town in search for cheap drinks :P: Saw some two for one signs today :D Sadly alcohol is expensive (I paid $60AU for a bottle of Jim Beam :S (No Wild Turkey available) to drink in our room as we're paying like $12AU for them to mix us a glass at the hotel) and the locals hassle you everywhere you go. You can't even lay on the beach without them trying to sell you something :S Got our tours booked tho. Tomorrow is white water rafting, then hitting Kuta's night life! Then Sunday having a 5hr!! massage and doing some shopping in Kuta. Then Monday doing some para-sailing, Jet ski-ing and fly-fishing (which is apparently us attached to a blow up board and dragged in the air behind a speed boat :P: Report
