Not only is it a spiritual and cultural place but it also has very diverse landscapes which vary from beautiful beaches and old exploring caves to huge volcanoes that touch the clouds!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 39.3pt; tab-stops: list 54.0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />

<br />
Since accommodation can be very cheap and can be almost under $25, and also food from local places can be cheap, I would say you would need around $80 to $150. Transportation is very cheap in Bali, as you just hop on a bike or just ride the public transportation and since $ 1is about Rp.8,600- an average of $120 will be more than sufficient for a lone traveler who is on a budget. Overall, I would take an amount of $2,800 extra cash - just in case! Which will also be sufficient enough as most activites involve visiting public and free places like religious sights, temples and beaches.Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08851278319945594144noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2091351422181236908.post-84648515373495516142011-06-08T19:14:00.001-07:002011-06-10T07:52:35.230-07:00Reference Information<ul><li>Bali Travel Guide - Lonely Planet: <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/indonesia/bali">http://www.lonelyplanet.com/indonesia/bali</a></li>
