One week in Bali: A suggested itinerary. Introduction What with all the cheap flights that are now available to the Indonesian island of Bali, more and more people are popping across for a short holiday of anything from a couple of days to a week. So what's the best way to spend a short break in Bali? The simple answer is it depends ... on you. Are you looking for a week-long laze on the beach with a bit of surfing thrown in or would you prefer bike riding and volcano climbing? You've no double heard of Eat, Pray, Love so perhaps a hideaway in the hills of Ubud with a generous dose of yoga thrown in would do the trick? We're going to depart from our standard itinerary model and instead suggest a few different places for different kinds of people -- you can put the pieces together yourself.
General guidelines Bali is bigger than you may think and the generally poor standard of roads -- and the heavy traffic in the south -- makes the going even more time consuming than it should be.

Introduction While many would argue you could enjoy the highlights of Vietnam OR Laos in four weeks, few would be willing to try and cover both in the same stretch of time. So what to do if you have four weeks and want to do both countries well? We'd say stick to northern Laos and northern Vietnam -- not only will that mean you can travel at a more comfortable pace, it means you get to save the south of each country for another trip. This is a very busy trip plan and you could easily spend two months doing the same trip without adding any new destinations.
In view of this we've made suggestions on the number of days to allow in a place, but please consider those suggestions the absolute bare minimum. Visas Most nationalities can get a visa on arrival for Laos. Vientiane: Days 1-2 Kick off your trip in the Lao capital of Vientiane. Cheeky novices. Nong Khiaw OR Muang Ngoi: Days 9-10 Take the boat north from Luang Prabang to either of these two riverside hamlets. Rice, rice and more rice.
