We spent 3 million IDR in 6 days, so 500,000 IDR a day (£26 approximately) excluding the money I spent on gifts. So about halfway between Ubud and Kuta in terms of expense, which isn't bad.

I wouldn't usually make a habit of eating at the same place twice in one holiday but we did, often. The buffet at Green Cafe/in the general area was amazing so don't be put off by the thought of street food. Karma Kayak had fantastic tapas and baba ganoush too, so we kept going back. And the crispy tamarind tuna at Flush was delicious (better first time around though).

The night life here was half as I had expected, half unexpected: it was on the beach (tick) it only had 3 bars/clubs of all those available busy at any one time which meant you had to know where the place to go was.

Up2You Hostel was our original accommodation but after one night the heat, ant infestations and a thousand other problems meant we called it quits. We moved to Warna Bungalows which were really great and only 50p/night/person more expensive than the awful hostel. However, they were right next to the mosque which went off at all hours of the day and night! I was fortunate enough to still find it funny at 4am.

Snorkelling trip was great, you get to visit all of the Gili Islands; one for coral, one for fish, one for sea turtles. Include lunch for an extra 20,000 IDR like I did and you'll save a lot of money - our meals were easily 45,000 IDR+. Other than that, we did almost nothing but chill out by the pool, followed by chill out by the beach. Or vice versa. 

Kayu Cafe was a really nice little place for all sorts of coffees, teas, juices and cakes so I'd definitely recommend it - it had the most reliable WiFi I used on the island too.

The last leg of Indonesia is Lombok...
