We will be arriving at Jakarta airport, and plan to head to Java's western coast (Carita). Does anyone know whether it is possible to go west on public transport without having to transfer in Jakarta first? Are there any direct or indirect buses or will this be too difficult?

Hi, I will be travelling to Bandung end of this month with my mum & her friends. So, I need some advice on the hotel. We need a hotel which is next to the shopping areas, within walking distance. Just wondering if Santika or Aston is a good choice? If not, kindly recommend. Thank you!

Hello Travel Friends,

We're planning our honeymoon and we narrowed it down to two places. Bali is one of the places - and we are really excited about it but we want to confirm the typical weather during the time of year before we book the travel plans.
Can anyone please let me know what the weather is like from 5/26-6/13 in Bali? Thanks!

I planned to go to Bandung on July 2008. So i decided to stay at Karmila hotel but the problem is there is no website for this hotel, because i want to the rates for this hotel. So anybody can help me?

Planning a trip to Indonesia in mid April 2008. We will be stayig in Bali for about 3 weeks.We will then fly to Yogakarta and area, after touring the nearby sites we hoped to be able to make our way to Carita and then take a tour to Anak Krakatau. Could anyone give me directions on how to travel to Carita from Yogyakarta. Does anyone know or have experience with a reputable and safe guide.Is it possible to charter a helicopter to fly us out there. Any information at all would be extremely helpful

Dear members

1.I will be in Bali from 21 -29 Jan.2008. I would like to know what is the cheapest means of transport from the Airport to Puri Bagus Hotel Candidesa. I was quote a US35 with a driver for 4 pax. However I'm travelling alone, unless I can share with somebody, that will be a bit expensive for me.

2. I would like to stay in Ubud for a night. Prefer a hotel in town that cost less than US20. Any suggestions and contact addresses ?

3. Is there any cheap hotels (below US20) with bathroom attached in Kuta or Legian area. I stayed in Bali Summer (behind Hard Rock Hotel) before, but rates had gone up. I heard about Express Legian Hotel, Jl Legian and Bali Bungaloo,Jl Pantai Kuta, is it OK and how much ?

4. How much is the rent for a car one full day with a diver, is US50 expensive ?

Thank you. Looking forward for some help form VT members who are an expert on Bali.

Guys,

After having a big fight at the office for a leave entitlement, finally the big boss approve my leave. Since there is a bigger crisis in Middle East, my fight was not well captured in the news.

Anyway, I’ll be in Bali on 10-18 November 2007.

I think it would be great to meet Bali VT members at that time. I would love to have breakfast, lunch, dinner, drink or whatever with you all or other VT members who just happens to be in Bali at that time.

Details as follows:

Place: open for suggestion.
Time: open for suggestion.

Hi All:
Am planning to visit Bali in November. Wonder if any of you came acrosss shops in Bali selling Dutch influenced motif tiles - I am looking for these for my patio

Also : Any good light shops that sell interesting wall lights?

much appreciated.

I plan travel west java on feb/march 2008. I´d apreciate information about your surfing packages/ budget accommodation.

What would be the proper attire for a woman in Bandung? (I have just asked Simonyet, who was kind enough to reply to my initial questions, but I am a new member and not certain if the question was posted in the correct place on the site).

Many thanks,

My husband is an academic and is invited to a conference in Bandung in January. The plane lands in Jakarta and I wondered if it is safe to travel by car from Jakarta to Bandung (a two hour drive through the country)? He expects to be "escorted" by at least one student from the university.

Any information you can share about one's safety in this part of the world, and specifically the above trip and staying in Bandung, would be much appreciated.
