Long time lurker, first time poster here. Been searching the web for a while, made loads of notes but no further forward. Thought I'd put the questions straight out there, plus it gives me a reason to finally register.
Myself and the wife have a flight to use up or we loose it, singled out Bali and possibly Komodo for the end of July for 7-10 days. My wife is an instructor while I'm AOW, around 60 dives and getting very into videography. Personally I'd like to tick off some bucket list sites, we've been to Bali before so not that bothered about nightlife or sight seeing.
The problem is we've not got much of a budget and liveaboards seem expensive, as the same time my wife isn't going to sleep in hostels with no running water or take the two day ferry to Komodo.
Any advice or tips? First of all, what sites are must do's? Am I being ambitious in trying to cover them all? And if I have to settle for just Bali and do day trips, where is the best part of the island to be based?
Thanks in advance.
