Mopeds168 viewsTaken from inside the tour car (David, on the right, is driving, Resi, our guide, is on the left). Motorbikes and mopeds/scooters are everywhere in Bali. They're very commonly used to transport more than one person (we saw one with a family of 5 on it!). Quite often, girls wearing skirts will sit side-saddle on the back of bikes.

The view from our hotel room balcony170 viewsAnd finally looking to the west. A new roof is being put onto one of the bungalows. That bit of blue between the two palm trees is the sea, so that means our room qualified as an Ocean View room. Bit tenuous if you ask me....

Bungalow and paths171 viewsMost of the hotel rooms were "Garden View" or "Ocean View" (like ours). There were some seperate bungalows which gave a bit more room, but we were very happy with our room.
