Exploring Bali by scooter

Bali offers an endless array of interesting sights and sounds. My favourite thing to do is cruise around by scooter and find new places, that have that special quality. It can be a shady tree-lined street, a small lane with locals sitting outside, or a local temple appearing out of the rice fields.

‘Bali: Lakes in the Clouds‘, is a trip journal by krissz, detailing his adventures in Bali. He used a Kymco scooter and seemed to enjoy himself.

Renting a scooter to exlpore, or just get around town is simple. There are dozens of places in Kuta, Legian, Semiyak, all pretty much the same, offering daily rates ofr around 40,000-50,000rp. I pay 400,000rp per month, so the longer you rent for the better deal you’ll get. You’ll need an International Driving Licence and make sure the bike is fitted with mirrors (some locals unscrew them). The rental place should provide you with a helmet.

Safe travels.
