Bali Indonesia
Bali Indonesia: First thing first, Bali is an island. Therefore, before you think and plan of what to do in Bali, you may need to expect less or, at some places, even no public transport. The way you travel around from one spot to another is by taxi or rent a vehicle. Taxi can be quite expensive for sometimes, especially if you plan to stay in Bali for a couple of days or even weeks.
The best choice to go around when you visit Bali is to rent a car or motorcycle. Motorcycle would be much cheaper and more efficient as the road around the island isn't always large in size, especially if you go to village areas. Renting a scooter or motorcycle is easy. They usually only ask the hotel or hostels you're staying in and your passport number along with your citizenship and voila! the key is on your hand.
But you may want to be careful with the police in Bali, as sometimes they go out to the street and do inspection to visitors, especially those who don't look like locals, and ask for the official license. Make sure you bring your real international license as sometimes copies just don't work.
Where To Visit In Bali Indonesia
Bali has a lot of beautiful beaches, many of them can be visited for free because they're open for public, while some others are private and can be reached only if you stay at the related hotel which area is basically part of the hotel territory.
