The Internet Gypsy - Candi Dasa

The LP says that a lot of the morning flights in dry season get delayed or cancelled because of fog. THIS IS TRUE !! What usually happens is this: the first plane of 9.30 am gets delayed for about 1 to 2 hours. THIS MEANS THAT ALSO THE 3rd FLIGHT GETS DELAYED, because this is the same plane. The second flight of 11.30 am however is another one, and by 11.30 am the fog has usually gone. So I strongly advise in dry season to book the second flight which is usually on time, and to avoid the first and the third flight. Secondly these flights tend to be heavily booked by tour groups occupying 30 seats, so book ahead, preferentially from home by internet, you've got nothing to loose with making a reservation, since you pay once you're in Thailand.

Candi Dasa

Accomodation

Hotel Genggon is a bit out of town. It's quiet, rooms have hot water and a private verandah. The hotel has a nice garden and a small sandy beach.

The Kubu Bali Hotel in Candidasa offers 5-star comfort at a 3-star price. It used to be 55 US$ before the crisis, it'll probably be half now.

What to do

Scenery

There are some marvellous roads in the neighbourhood with great views.

One report said that the road from Amlapura to Adem and then along the coast back to Amlapura was the best he saw in Bali with magnificent rice fields.

Someone else confirmed this, and also recommended a second road: from Candidasa a couple of kilometres to Sengkidu, and then to Ngis. From there there's a very steep road to Sibetan which you won't find on the map. From Sibetan you go in the direction of Pesangkan, Selat, Muncan and Rendang. This is the road to Besakih.
