Waiting for flight to Bali

So Mt. Raung on Java sent a ash cloud toward Bali, canceling all flights for a
Few days. It reopened on Saturday, but upon arrival at the Singapore airport (Changin), our flight was delayed by a few hours, then a few hours more and now, at 3:46 pm, we wait to see if any flights will be going in or out. The airport in Bali was closed until 4pm, then they reassess the ash cloud situation. The Ozzie airlines canceled flights this morning. But all others have waited it out. One airline just canceled, but all others are waiting until 4pm.

Now when we arrive it will be evening. We have no accommodation, so I hope finding one is not an issue in the evening. We're planning to take a taxi to Balangan Beach from the airport. Hopefully everything is not booked out because it's high season (Ozzie school holidays).  But I think many people will stay in Kuta, closer to the airport, especially those that are stuck in Bali because of flight cancelations.
