*********
Place: Bali, Indonesia

Period: Sept 2015
Duration: 4D3N
*********
Day 1- started at 3pm*********

- reached Ngurah Rai Airport Denpasar about 6pm: no airport arrival tax for Singapore passport holders
- reached Bali Vidi Villa about 8pm: Rp350,000 for taxi ride not via hotel's airport transfer
given that we reached the Ngurah Rai Airport at 6pm, after all that baggage clearance, and finally reaching the villa at about 8pm, we obviously didn't do anything other than getting dinner and retreating for the night. it was one day wasted.

Day 3 - started at 3pm

Day 4 - started at 1pm
- 8-hours Tour Guide with Driver: Rp 560,000 per slot
- checked out from Bali Vidi Villa
- Ubud and Kuta Beachfront free-and-easy
- departure flight via Jetstar at about 11pm: Rp 200,000 per pax for airport departure tax

#notetoself:
- travel in a morning flight to maximize a one day trip, even if its just getting around.
- standby spare cash especially for the last day for last min souvenirs etc.
- generally the tour guides may have partnership agreements with other companies. unless you have a specific place to dine in, they are likely to recommend you to their partners' companies.
- unlike Bintan and Jakarta etc who is one hour behind Sg timing, Bali's time zone is the same as Singapore's.
- do be aware that some prices are exclusive of Bali's 21% GST
