You can visit the most popular

concierge can give you advice on lo-

cal restaurants and help you find

the best places with the best deals

souvenirs.

You may also find specials on

dining, or babysitting services if

the thriving cultural center. Most

hotels and family villas feature DVD

players and some may feature gam-

ing consoles to entertain on nights

For those who would love to get

away from home, but don’t want

the trappings of the typical tourist

destinations, Bali is the ideal loca-

tion for a family vacation.

There is nothing like vacationing in

the awe inspiring and historically

rich Bali, but be sure to book your

Bali villas for rent early!

What to Bring What to Bring What to Bring on your on your on your

Bali HolidayBali HolidayBali Holiday

So you have waited a long time

to come to Bali. Perhaps this is your

first visit here, or maybe you are

coming back after only a few

months away. You have booked

your airline tickets, Bali villa

rentals, cancelled your home news-

paper delivery and sent your cat to

the cattery. What to do next? Of

course the answer is to pack your

bags! But what should you bring

with you?

These days many of the impor-

tant little luxuries which one needs

to enjoy a pleasant holiday are

available here. The plethora of

twenty four hour open convenience

stores sell a wide range of sweet

and savoury snack foods including

crisps, corn snacks, chocolate and

wafer biscuits, ice cream cones and

iced-lollies on sticks. Favorite

brands include Magnum ice cream,

TimTam biscuits and Lays potato

crisps.

Sliding upmarket, a visit to one

of the many local delis will demon-

strate the huge range of Western

foodstuffs now being imported.

Cheeses from Europe and Australia,

Wines from the old and new world,

luxury biscuits and organic fruit

and vegetables; pate, caviar, smoked

salmon, steak, prawns – all are

available most, if not all, of the time.

Wine is a little expensive here and

allowance is just one bottle per

person – so use it!

So food and drink is available,

what else to bring on your villa

rental Bali vacation?

Well, clothes are also available

here in abundance. Local labels.

Biasa, By The Sea, IO & Co and

Spicy to name a few from the choice

of hundreds. Better just bring a

small selection of your favourite

items and buy the rest.

The ubiquitous sarong is a must-

buy as are some lightweight beach

and evening wear. If you will be

doing a lot of walking, bring your

favorite tropical-weight hiking

boots; everything else from Crocs to

thongs (flip flops) made from old

tires are available here.

Bring decent waterproof sun

lotion. For a few hours either side of

its zenith, the Sun plays a ferocious

dance on unprotected skin and if

you want to be able to lie down in

your Bali villa rentals without

crying, it’s a must. Sun lotions are

typically not permitted on airlines

today, so it is wise to purchase this

item once you reach your destina-

tion.

For in-home entertainment, DVD

movies and audio CD’s are available

here and are great to watch in your

villa rental Bali. These can include

whole collections of your favorite

TC series and the latest movies –

sometimes before they have even

been shown in the cinema or re-

leased for sale. If your country wor-

ries about these goods, be ad-

vised that they may not have been

legally produced or are legal to take

back home!

Feel the

Bali atmosphere and

enjoy every moment

spent on the island.
