A month gets you across Java to Borobudur and the volcanoes, and out to Flores or Komodo. The country is 5,000km wide, so plan around flights.\r\nIs there more to Indonesia than Bali? | A great deal. Java has Borobudur and Prambanan, the two greatest temple complexes in southeast Asia, and the Bromo and Ijen volcanoes. Lombok, Flores, Sulawesi and Sumatra are all quieter and cheaper than Bali.\r\nIs Indonesia cheap? | Very, once you are there \u2014 warung meals at \u20ac1.50 to \u20ac3, dorms from \u20ac8, scooters at \u20ac5 a day. The cost is movement: inter-island flights run \u20ac30 to \u20ac60 each and organised trips add up.\r\nWhen is the best time to visit? | April to October, the dry season, with May, June and September the sweet spots. The wet season is not a washout \u2014 heavy afternoon rain that clears \u2014 but surf, volcanoes and boat crossings all work better in the dry.\r\nIs it safe to ride a scooter in Bali? | It is how most people get around and it is also the main cause of traveller injury. You need an international driving permit with a motorcycle category for your insurance to be valid, and a helmet. Hospital bills without cover are substantial.\r\nWhat is Nyepi? | The Balinese day of silence in March. Nobody goes outside, lights stay off, and the airport closes for a full 24 hours. If your dates cross it you must be on the island already, and hotels ask guests to stay in.\r\nDo I need a visa for Indonesia? | Most nationalities get a 30-day visa on arrival, extendable once, and the rules have been revised several times.
