We’ve just arrived here in Sanur a couple days ago. We’ve checked out the hotel and the beach, and are having trouble finding fun ways to fill the day out here. Because of New Year’s Eve we don’t want to go outside Sanur currently, is there anything local that anyone would recommend checking out?

How often does this happen? When will the power be back on?

Hi all, I’m travelling to Bali next week and thinking of doing a day trip to Nusa Penida. However, I’ve read some horror stories of people on speedboats to Nusa Penida.

Planning to visit Bali for the first time next month, so checking taxi prices from the airport to potential stays… and it’s ridiculously cheap, less than 1 dollar… are these prices real or is it just the booking fee? lol

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this lately, if it’s common, or maybe it happened to anyone else in the past couple of days.
