Indonesia Climate

Well what can I say. Was an interesting place didn't really go the narrow streets etc. Was quite a dirty place. However if anyone ever heads that way the tours were excellent especially the Kintamani volcano Tour and the Monkey Forest and Temples Tour. Be wary if offered a friendship bracelet or the like as my friend and I were ripped off $280AUD each the first day we were there if you do find yourself in this situation and not knowing the value of their Money all you need to do is say the word police and they back right off. Great weather, really hot. We stayed in Kuta at cheap accommodation but if you go there i would recommend going for something around the 3.5 - 4 star mark as the accommodation we had was only 2.5 star and the sheets were washed daily but they were kinda brown and blood on the walls of our unit. Kuta Beach was lovely but they have a lot of people selling stuff that tend to hound you. lol. The shopping absolutely amazing and very cheap. We were offered drugs by some guys .............no we didn't take them neither of us were into that but however if you are game to purchase off of them do be warned that as soon as you buy it they go to cops and report you then you have the balinese police on your back. Overall was a great place especially the tours, kids ride moped thingees to school and the balinese drive crazy.........yes there were times we thought we weren't goin to make it back to NZ. Was a real eye opener for us. These people work so hard for so little.

There is also a fountain in this park known as Youth Fountain. Whose water is believed to give long life to those who drink this water will full faith and dedication towards lord Shiva.

The best time to visit Narmada Park, Lombok, is in the months of May to August, when the climate is at its best. The entry fee to Narmada Park, Lombok is around Rp 5000, which is very cheap.

Kuta has an endless list of accommodation options to choose from. So, you need not worry about making a reservation in advance unless you really do not have much time to waste looking for accommodation. For budget to 2 star hotels, i would recommend you look along Jalan Poppies I and Poppies II. The Barong Hotel on Jalan Poppies II is a reasonable choice. Try it. Shopping wise, it's endless in Kuta. As the weather can be quite burning to the skin, make sure you rub on the strongest SPF sun lotion on to your skin...unless, of course, you have plan on acquiring the exotic asian tan look.
