Sanur, Indonesia
Welcome to Bali, or the locals like to call it, Balifornia! I hope you are
excited to spend 10 days in Bali! You will be arriving at Ngurah Rai
International Airport in Denpasar, a small and navigable airport. If you go out
and grab an airport taxi to your accommodation in Sanur, you will be overcharged
4 to 5 times. This is why you need to install GoJek or/and Grab before your
arrival. Use the airport Wi-Fi and use GoJek or Grab to get yourself a taxi to
Sanur. If you cannot use the app for some reason, walk outside of the airport
area and grab a Bluebird taxi. Those taxis are the local taxi and will be just
affordable as the ones through the apps. They are blue and say the word
“Bluebird” on the side. The aggressive taxi drivers that approach you the moment
you step outside the airport will overcharge you like crazy. They are the last
resort if you run out of options, but still, you can always negotiate with them.
Our first destination is in the eastern part of Bali. Sanur, a relatively quiet
port city, is a great starting point for your Bali trip. Many visitors make the
mistake of going straight into Kuta and getting stuck there. Don’t be one of
them. Sanur is also the place where you will be taking the ferry from Bali to
Nusa Penida tomorrow!
