Bali accommodations and transportation

HOW TO GET THERE

The easiest way: take the plane

As an internationally known place for holidays, obviously Bali has its own international airport. Nothing fancy, don’t expect anything like Singapore’s Changi Airport or Bangkok’s Svarnabhumi. You also take flights to this airport if you’re flying from other provinces in Indonesia.

The challenging way, for you big towners, take the trains or buses

From Jakarta:

Jakarta-Surabaya-Banyuwangi-Denpasar

An alternative way to get there, and of course cheaper, is like what Mumun and I did on December 2008. Mind you, we left from Jakarta.

- Jakarta - Surabaya

We took the night train from Gambir Station at 6pm, arrived at Surabaya’s train station Pasar Turi at about 7am the next day. Surabaya is the capital city of East Java, the closest province on Java from Bali, and it’s only 2/3 way to Denpasar, the capital city of Bali.
