We were in Kuta 5 nights and days, we absolutely loved it - we found a super fancy hotel with swim up bar (Grand Mega Resort and Spa Bali) and the beach was (almost) on our doorstep. We spent most of our time chilling, with only a few activities planned over those few days. Despite this, because of the luxury of our hotel, these were an expensive 5 days - 3.45 million IDR spent in total, roughly 689,000 IDR (£36) a day. 

A night out sets you back about 200,000 IDR (£10) and a cocktail with dinner about 100,000 IDR (£5). Which doesn't seem a lot, but when you can get a nights accommodation for the same price as a cocktail, it is. But I thought Sky Garden was a pretty awesome place for a night out.

Uluwatu temple was disappointingly closed (we think) so whilst the views were lovely we couldn't appreciate the temple inside. And Turtle Island was equal parts depressing and fun - seeing the animals was fantastic but the whole thing was just for money and you couldn't be sure of how they were treated.

The best meal I had was the burger at Wacko Burger Cafe (I'll be blogging that in detail over on my Burgers and Lipstick blog soon!) a close second was the fish tacos at Motel Mexicola, they were incredible.

Our final stop in Bali is Ubud, here we go...
