Things to Pack: Fuji Mini Polaroid Camera | Plenty of sunscreen | Shorts, t-shirts and sundresses | Scarf and/or sarong. Sightseeing? Temples require your shoulders and legs be covered. | Amazon Kindle/Books | A large bag so you can easily bring back any of the items you buy while shopping in Bali. | Don’t forget your favorite pool toys!
4 Must-Do’s:
- Visit any and all temples you can get to. They are all unique and gorgeous sights to see.
- Spend time at the Monkey Forest in Ubud.
- Chill out at Padang Padang Beach.
- Hire a driver for the day. Negotiate the fee before you leave. Note: We paid around $40 per day for a full day trip. We would also give the driver some additional money when he dropped us for lunch or dinner.
