Review for The Rough Guide to Bali & Lombok 6 (Rough Guide Travel Guides)

This was the one book I used all through my visit to Bali in January 2009, after having bought it and the Lonely Planet guide. What made this book so much more useful was the vastly surpass details on restaurants and lodging in towns and villages away from the “Banana Pancake Trail,” simple-to-use maps, and Rough Guides not joining Lonely Planet in adopting a “preaching greenie” tone.

I’ve used these guides in the past. I do like to have a sort of basic nuts-and-bolts guidebook when I travel but I find Lonely Planet to be so standard that all they recommend is overwhelmed with additional LP readers. That’s nothing against the LP books which are nearly always really excellent, but I sometimes feel their popularity can make for a less than fantastic travel encounter. You know, a “backpacker” guest house or whatever might be really mobbed because of its mention in LP and the just-as-excellent place down the street has no customers because they didn’t get included.

So, whatever, the Rough guides are pretty standard too but a bit less so, and they’re really more or less the same as LP in terms of quality, so nothing really to lose. Hopefully mitigates the problem I mention above. As for Bali, this was also I reckon the most recently published book oriented to a more budget type traveler (though it isn’t limited to that type of customer at all).

I’ve been to Bali and Lombok a few times, but it has been a while, so I just wanted a small something to help with whatever might have changed. Will try to update this review when I return in a few months. I suppose soon we’ll only be using i-phones or netbooks or whatever for this sort of thing…but internet penetration isn’t all that it could be in places like Lombok, and thank God too…who would want to be called or emailed in a place like that while you’re tiresome to relax?

It’s a book, I received it. Thank you. I have really been burned on not receiving internet buys so getting what I pay for is a bonus. It took a while, but I waited nearly a year to buy it.

finding the place to send this review is not worth the effort. I’ve got a life and it is not helping you run your business
