Just returned form Bali after a 12 day stay in Sanur with my Girlfriend. Third trip in 5 years, what’s not to love about the place…. The people, the weather, the smell, Bintang the whole Bali experience…. wish I was still there instead of being held captive in this 10′C wet Adelaide Weather. Anyhoo…. looking forward to the next trip!
Although I very rarely post I have been surfing the ‘Bali Forum’s’ regularly!! Before I left I came across “Elvy’s” as a Driver through the forum, e-mailed him two weeks prior. he got back to me that evening and on and off leading up to out departure date… even through e-mail you could tell he was a character.
The second day in Bali (stayed at the Bali Hyatt Sanur), I called him. He picked us up the next morning and off we went in his Red Van. He only charges 400.000rp for the whole day (we gave him more because he looked after us so well), wicked airconed van that sticks out from all the other vans so we knew that he was never far away, got us good deals and best of all was the best bloke with a funny sense of humour!! It would not have been the same trip with out him!
We used him for 3 full day tours and 2 half day tours, knows the best and cheapest places to shop, the best places to go, carried anything we kneaded including cameras. He loves Aussies, and with out hesitation he is the best Guide I have used in my three trips to Bali!!
If your going to Bali, e-mail him ‘madenegaras@hotmail.com’ and you wont be disappointed!!!
Cheers Elvys we’ll see you next time!!
Matt.
