13Oct2009 Tue, KL---Kuta (3hrs)
After 3 hours flight from LCCT to Denpasar International Airport, Pok and I reached at 7pm. Out from airport, we were looking for public transport, meantime we walked toward the direction of Kuta Beach. 'Hello, where u want to go?' 'Kuta Beach. How much for 2 person?' '60,000rp' answered by a taxi driver. ' So expensive, 30000rp ok?' As usual, i would half the price. ' NO No no... tak pisah, can not do' driver answered and tend to leave. Quickly, i said ' cheaper lah, how much u can do ?' ' 50,000rp!' '40,000rp, can?' ' Tak pisah!' Driver closed the door and drove away. Alright, now i know they are able to do at around 50,000rp per trip from airport to Kuta beach.
We continued to walked by the direction to Kuta beach, and hoping could get an offer not more than 50,000rp. Ha ha ha... the next taxi drivers we met had offered us in between 60,000rp to 100,000rp. Crazy! i rather walk.
So we did. Finally, we walked from Denpassar International Airport to Kuta Beach for 1 1/2 hours. Unbelievable, we are strong and STUBBORN too. Turned right to Poppies Lane 1, we were looking for a roof tonight. As a summary of my on the spot survey:
Masa Inn ( Double bed, AC, Hot Water, BF) 400,000rp/night
Rita Hotel ( Double bed, AC) 150,000rp/night
Berlian Inn (Double bed, AC, Hot Water, BF) 200,000rp/night
Persona Inn ( Double bed, AC, Hot Water, BF) 300,000rp/night
Matahari Hotel (Double bed, AC, Hot Water, Sea view) 500,000rp/night
Finally, we agreed to stay at New Arena Hotel 180,000 per night for double bed, with hot water and air cond (AC) facilities. We choose New Arena Hotel because of its reasonable price, clean room, peaceful environment, and warm service. I highly recommend it.
