My visa run to run to Singapore today saw me catch a Bluebird taxi (0361)701111, pre-arranged, from Seminyak to the International Departure terminal at Ngurah Rai, for 43,000rp. The journey took about 15 minutes due to no traffic and a race car driver.

Ngurah Rai airport in Bali is a funky little place. They place a jazzy version of Balinese traditional tunes over the loudspeaker, there are ‘Oleh oleh Bali’ (Bali gift shops) around and the compact, rundown nature of the place somehow fits with Bali’s village type image.

There is yet another way for you to get a flight to Bali (as long as you are not an Aussie). Qatar Airways has opened up a new route from the Middle East to Denpasar, on March 24th.

Today I travellled by taxi, planes and a ferry in Indonesia. My journey to Singapore via Surabaya and Batam was uneventful, but there have been some hiccups lately concerning transport systems. Today Indonesian VP Yusuf Kalla took a symbolic train ride from Jakarta to Yogyakarta, showing faith in the country’s transportation.
