5) Itinerary PPT

• Please find the powerpoint below outlining the itinerary for the trip as a bit of a refresher.
• Please note the times to arrive at the airport on 28th June.
• Itinerary PPT (PDF version)

6) Mobile Phones and Sim cards/Data

• We will be creating a Whatsapp group at the airport before we depart, this will be used throughout the trip. Please ensure you have Whatsapp set up prior to arriving at the airport.
• For safety reasons, we need to be able to contact each of you at any time whilst in Bali. As such you will need access to mobile data.
• There are multiple options for mobile data whilst overseas, please see the flowchart below to decide with your parents/guardians which option you will be going with.

Mobile Data Options

• All students will soon receive an email with an editable spreadsheet. Please complete this to indicate which data option you are going with. This will tell me if I need to organise a company to come out to the hotel or not for the Indonesian sims.

7) Spending Money

• All meals are included in the cost of the tour.
• Students are welcome to bring any spending money if they wish. There are opportunities towards the end of the tour to do some shopping and may be able to purchase snacks if required.
• Approximately $200 Aud is the recommended spending money. This is more than enough and they are likely to not spend all of it.
• Students may bring an international card (i.e.: Wise card), however cash will be needed for any shopping. You may elect to bring some cash and keep some on a card. This is personal preference.
• Please exchange all money to Indonesian Rupiah prior to departure. Due to being a large group, it will be difficult to exchange money upon arrival.

8) Final Meeting 

Please find details of our final meeting below

• Week 7 Tuesday (10th June)
• 3:45 to 4:15 (quick meeting – putting together hygiene packs)
