Seriously, I think the Balineses just have this innate good customer service in them, so I doubt you will get really bad service anywhere else, but Mr Nyoman is truly exceptional. I am travelling with a group of 6 girl friends, some are scared of dogs, some are not entirely confident in their bikes. That plus a lot of chitter chatter (which equals delay) pretty much sums up to be quite a disastrous group.But Mr Nyoman and his brothers are really patient & take good care of us. Cold towels and water were provided & he even explains the irrigation system one-on –one to me when I reached later than the rest (as a result of stopping too often to take photos), something which I really really appreciate.
We cycle in Bang Li region, a slightly hilly area with cool weather (perfect for cycling!!!) & the welcoming villagers like to say “Hi” & “Hi five” with the cyclists. However, personally, I find it repetitious after seeing that many bali houses & rice terraces but that’s just me. I do think if you have a cycling route in mind, feel free to sound out to My Nyoman, just like what I did. I knew that I want to see the Kintamani mountain, the coffee plantation, the tegellag rice terrances & he made the arrangements for us, even though that’s not listed on his website. Check out the photos I have attached. I think the views overlooking Mt Batur at the restaurant is really breathtaking and a must see!
