We have travelled on and waved goodbye to Indonesia which means I once again will break out my notebook and calculator and try to give you a breakdown of our spending during the three weeks we spent in the country.
One thing to bear in mind is that our budget was blown when we decided to spend 4 nights in an all inclusive resort in Nusa Dua and so this is not a completely accurate budget for those who will be backpacking through the country. We definitely could have done Indonesia cheaper but occasionally decided to get taxis (metered) and spend a little bit more on food just to make the experience more enjoyable for us.
