    Check out these great selections. clickhere
Credit Cards
    Major credit cards are acceptable in most hotels along with Americandollar traveler's cheques.
Electricity
    Most hotels use 220 volts, 50 cycles and a round, two-pronged slim plug.Bathroom shaver plugs usually have a transformer switch. We suggest takingan adaptor for your appliance.
Getting Around
    You will find a range of chauffeur driven limousines, self-drive cars,taxis and hotel courtesy cars. Many taxis are not metered so it's wise tonegotiate the fare before you climb aboard. Bemos are a unique form oftransport. They are a mini-van masquerading as a communal bus. You simplyhail the driver and negotiate the fare that suits you both.

SUP, or Stand Up Paddle Surf, is an ancient form of surfing that was properly noticed in the 1940s. It can be traced back to the early days of Polynesia and was first seen in the Hawaiian island of Tahiti. The sport was initially put into practise by surfing instructors to manage larger groups of students. They stood up on their boards as it gave them better visibility of what went on around them. The surf coaches used a one-bladed paddle to navigate a normal length surfboard. As time went by, the surfboards grew longer and the paddles were modified. Nowadays, SUPing is becoming extremely popular all over the world because of the sport’s elegant simplicity, quick learning curve and lack of age limit.

        Strongly Wayang based, this styleinvolves hundreds of intricately painted representations of Balinese lifefilling every available nook and cranny of the canvas.

EarlierBatuan artists, Ida Bagus Made Togog and Ida Bagus Made Wija, dealt muchmore with the darker, supernatural side of life in Bali with people depictedas extremely vulnerable to the spririts and powers of nature.
