I've never been to this part of the world so I'm looking for advice.
In September of 2019 I'll be in Bali to join-up with the Mermaid I for their 9-night Komodo trip. Since I'm traveling from the US, I figured I'd extend the trip by a few days on the front end.
I don't what to do the generic "what should I see post" as that is really tough for people to figure out what I might like But I do have some questions that I'd love the collective consciousness' opinion on.
1) I'll be flying into DPS and the boat will leave on a Thursday from Benoa Harbour. If I arrive on Sunday or Monday would I be best suited to stay in or around the Harbour area? I'm not sure how easy it is get to points north of that area.
2) I believe September is still Mola season. Mermaid Liveaboards' recommended "All-4-Diving Indonesia". Is that a good outfit or are there better options for day trips to Nusa Penida / Nusa Lembongan?
3) I'd like to spend a day doing something cultural (i.e. temple visit). I know there are tons of sites on that topic and I'll leveage those sources, but figured I'd include the question here as well. Which temple makes a good day trip from the DPS area (assuming that it where I stay, see question 1)
thanks for the input.
