Taxi in Bali
Getting around is very easy in Bali, since there are literally hundreds of taxis in Bali. Today we would like to inform you a bit about the rates that you can expect when you step into a taxi in Bali.
Metered taxis are very common in southern Bali, however, the more north you go the harder you will find it to get a taxi. The minimum charge is Rp 5,000 for the first two kilometres and the meter ticks up Rp 5,000 per kilometre after that. For waiting time you will be charged around Rp 20,000 per hour. Trips outside southern Bali will be charged an extra 30%, as the driver has to go back empty. By far the most reliable and biggest taxi company is Blue Bird; they have a telephone call service (+62 361 701111) so you can book ahead. Generally any hotel can also haul you a taxi and you can indicate if you want to have a Bluebird arranged.
If you catch a taxi on the street, the Blue Bird taxi cars are always sky blue with a white top light. The cars are modern and the drivers are well-informed with a decent level of English. If day-tripping, it is often cheaper and more convenient to arrange a freelance driver.
Puri Bawana Estate, Canggu
The Puri Bawana Estate is located in the fishing village of Canggu, within walking distance of the rugged beach, which is renowned for its world-class surf breaks. The locality is dotted with some of the most impressive villas on the island and the sweeping view is enhanced on clear days by the magical sight of the Bali’s mountains. This out of town setting offers the double attraction of being relatively close to the shops and restaurants of Seminyak, while also presenting a fascinating insight into the traditions of rural Bali. Cows are herded through the fields, rice is planted and harvested throughout year, and the sound of ritual music is carried on the breeze.
The Beach House Restaurant at the nearby Echo Beach is the place where the local community gathers in the evenings to watch the legendary sunsets. A variety of eating areas and tables spill out onto a beachside buff, and live music is complemented by seafood barbeques.

We have all faced the question, would you like to purchase holiday travel insurance? Many of us, myself included, are thinking well why would I want to spend more money on that? I know that I am travelling on this particular date, my vacation time is booked and there is nothing that is going to stop me.

The thing about travel is that many times, no matter how far ahead we have booked or how well planned, there are many unexpected things that can occur, some may be minor things and some may not. Maybe you’ve experienced setbacks yourself.
