If you flight with Garuda Indonesia, they do all immigration stuff on the plane, after you touch down all immigration matters have been completed and you will go through a special passenger line directly outside the airport. That's the power of Garuda Airways.

So grateful KZfaq recommended this series to me. I had absolutely no interest in going to Indonesia...until now. 😂 The FOOD prices! WOW!! Also, I learned German and never heard/saw Canuck being a 'bad word'. And as we all know...(some) Germans leaving their towels on loungers all day (and not sit there for 1/2 of it ) really IS a thing! 😆🤣. My Austrian husband doesn't get it either...all German speakers are as varied as we Canadians are. And I've found there are great people everywhere!! 😍 Besides, you had me in this video at swim-up pool bar!🤩 Why sit on land BY a pool when you can sit IN a warm pool and be served drinks? Heaven!🥰 Plus, that's where the magical fun happens, longest we enjoyed was 7 hours in a Ko Phangan swim up pool bar. Haha...great times! ☺

like in pre covid times . Bali is always a good travel option! i remember the rock bar (22:57 min )very well , i liked this place back in 2012, too. This corner Kuta/Legian/Seminyak is a great place for long walks, on the beach, or on the party streets and and small alleys (Poppies Lane 1/2 etc) around. That's why i always choose to stay in the middle in Legian and then explore the surroundings. One of my favorite places back in the days was the La Plancha Bali beach bar in Seminyak , great place for the sunset and evening time.

STL, Australians like Bali because it fairly close, feels like Asia, and is pretty inexpensive. Many football clubs go on end of season trips and play up! I‘ve been once and didn’t love it. I stayed in Ulawatu which was a close trip as the crow flies, but the single lane roads made it a pain to go anywhere. Thailand for me boss!

@SideTripLife Жыл бұрын

Actually I loved Ulawatu for the chill vibes yet still has many warungs, cafes, grocers, markets and the best beaches in Bali (imho). Even looked at places to live long term, some great deals too. Will show a bit more upcoming. STL

My bags are packed and in 3 weeks I will finally be in Bali again, think it's about my 10th trip, would have been more but stupid covid has stopped me for a couple of years, last trip was booked for May 2020 but was cancelled due to the pandemic. I usually spend a couple of nights in legian, mainly for shopping but prefer to stay in Sanur and other areas of Bali for the majority of my stay.

Thanks for the video. I stayed in Jalan Legian, Kuta last month. You did well, not to get ripped off by the Airport Taxi Mafia and it was your first trip!

@SideTripLife Жыл бұрын

Thx Gary. For the record, I do get that many taxi drivers are also caught up in the 'game' (similar to many airports around SE Asia). Thus have to 'pay the man' for the right to queue and often times for hours, just to get a single fare. However, like most, I just landed and want to travel the 5kms or so to my hotel at a reasonable local rate, get a shower, grab a bite and begin my vacay. Some thoughts: 1) Eliminate the taxi 'handlers' and assc fees the drivers/thus you/I must pay (not likely to happen;) 2) There's prolly 10X more taxi's than needed around Bali, so buy out 50% of them, thus the rest have more fares/trips vs gouging the few fares they can net to survive (again, not likely to happen). 3) Build LRT as talked about (not holding breath but likely , at least eventually) . Until then, every flight landing at Bali (& Phuket etc etc) are leaving many with a less than desirable initial 1st impressions after dealing with the local taxi rank. STL
