Renting a motorbike for $4 a day and driving to all the surfing beaches of Bali on about 50 cents of fuel is definitely the way to go...as long as you can figure out the crazy, and I mean crazy driving in Indonesia. It seems the motorbikes have no rules and the cars feel ownership of the road feeling free to pass a slower car going into the oncoming traffic lane as long as there are only motorbikes coming the other way...they will get out of the way. Luckily I've seen Captain Ron a few times so I know a little bit about this.
Once you get south of the airport the traffic thins enough to allow you some pretty spectacular views. Famous surf breaks like Bingin, Dreamland, Padang Padang, and Uluwatu are yours for the exploring. Although as I found out this day you may have
to share them with some of the local wildlife like these monkeys. They were searching the intertidal cave for barnacles and crabs. I tried to help them find some barnacles until three particular nasty ones barred their teeth and charge a bit.
