Driving with Chris in East Bali
Chris and I are just back from a 3-day trip in eastern and northern Bali. We pretty much stayed on the main roads heading out east along the coastal road, staying in Candi Dasa for 2 nights and then Lovina for 1 night.
In my opinion your mode of travel will immediately have an impact on the kind of experience you will have and getting your own transport is the best thing you can do. I rented a Feroza in about 5 minutes from a place on Jl. Dhyana Pura. The price was 100,000rp per day and I was not required to show any kind of ID. I have a fake international license which is 2 years out of date, the guy renting the car doesn't care, and if I come into contact with a cop, I just 'flip the bird' and hit the gas (as I did today coming back from Singaraja).

hello nick, can you tell us what he pulled you up for, i always love to hear these kind of stories. as in any other case, even if your innocent its better to give them something, get on your way and enjoy your freedom.
Is there any reason not to use buses to get to Ubud, Candi Dasa and Lovina?
They would probably try to get some out of you even if you had an international driver’s licence, so that’s a pretty good idea. But can you always escape a road block? And if not, can you enlighten us on the common bribery fee?!
