Bali Packing List Tips by Rinjani Top 5 Page for this destination

Part II

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Basic equipment you need such as personal medicine, sunscreen, tan lotion for sun tanner (I carried traditional herb mask to overcome my skin after sun burnt), small bottle of hand sanitizer that come in handy when you need it, wet tissue (it’s very useful, since in some places it is needed when you go to toilet, I usually carry a small bottle of water for toilet purpose for the similar reason)

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: If you opt for jungle trek, it’s always wise to bring more medicine, such as dextamine in case if you develop allergy for bee sting, betadine, handyplast and lotion for insect bite. Mosquito repellant is always useful.

If you are into water activities, bring your own google or snorkel are always useful. But, surfing board is not necessary, it is available for renting, unless if you develop bonding with your own board.

Miscellaneous: Some people carry condom with them. They said you never know where you are going to end up. Hm…I think it’s much a wise idea to protect you from Sexual Transmitted Disease. But the best option for this is apply safe sex…and avoid as much as possible having sex with strangers which are quite common in Bali after a long happy night.

What to pack when you go to Bali?

Luggage and bags: Packing is an art, at least for me. I usually stuffed my bag only to find that I need more space for my shopping activity. Sometimes I carry too much, but many times I pack so few …and it’s a good reason to shop : )

Dear fellow, a good suggestion for you, although you are not into shopping, and although I vowed that I would not shop, just simply sightseeing, usually it is wiser to give space in your bag for new stuffs you found in Bali. Some people I met in Bali made bet to amuse themselves whether the guest that they accompanied can resist themselves from shopping….usually it’s fruitful for those who bet for “shopping”

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: What to pack?
Since I combine both mountain and beach in my travel wish list, I brought both stuffs that suitable for that. I brought my trekking shoes as well as pretty flip flop.
A warm pullover and raincoat, comfy trouser and day backpack. But also I equipped myself with swimwear, tops for the beach, t-shirt for daily activity and also pashmina in neutral color for handy cover up in Pura. Sarong…I did not bother to carry with me, I know that I will buy them in Bali.

It’s always wise to bring a decent dress/t-shirt if you are tempted to go to one of top end places like restaurant or top end club. But, in Kuta, you can always get nice dress.
