I got a lot of really useful information and guidance from a website/persons blog. However it was a little out dated, so I spent 20 minutes posing a comment with my first hand updated info for people like me. As it was a bit of effort and could end up useful in the future, I thought I would add a 2nd blog for the day with a copy and paste of it; Hi, I'm currently in Bali and have successfully just renewed my 'Visa on Arrival'.

Having watched for a while I went back, woke up Saskia, had breakfast and then headed out for a surf. In the 45 minutes I had been gone it appeared t...

Couple of days late writing this, despite having many lazy uneventful days, so its pretty brief. Apparently I have started sleep talking a lot?! Saskia nearly had a fully blown conversation with me last night, of which I don't remember a thing. Apparently it mainly consisted of me cursing mosquitoes hahaha.
