Visiting a friend in Australia was the plan, then I looked on the map and saw that Bali was the perfect stopover. In this post post I will discuss my 5 day itinerary. Don’t forget to check out the map with all the addresses at the end.
Planing a trip is fun but when you don’t have time it’s a good idea to contact a local guide. Travel blogger Bart Lapers gave me the contact info of Wayan Merta. The itinerary of the trip is up to you but Wayan can help you, just tell him what kind of activities you want to do, surf lessons, explore temples and rice fields, maybe you want to go to fancy places for lunch or rather the local spots? Wayan did a very good job planning, driving and guiding so I could just relax and enjoy paradise.

Try and go up to the North of Bali and spend your days there. If you want to find something different dont go to the usual known places but explore and rent a car and drive allong the costline.
