An evening in Bali >> Bali 01

Was quite excited about this trip as J and I last visited Bali more than 10 years ago! We arrived in the early evening.

The airport was quite spacious but not too crowded - which is surprising as this is supposed to be high season. We didn't see many tourists on the way to our hotel either and thought we would see more in town.


After checking in at Sri Ratu in Legian, we went out for dinner and noticed that most of the restaurants along Jalan Padma were quite empty. Maybe there were more tourists in Kuta, but it sure felt way too quiet for high season.

So, despite rosy reports, Bali might not be recovering too well...

J: Ditto A's thoughts about the sights and sounds on arrival. An unexpected break means a visit to this island after such a long time. I can't wait for sunshine tomorrow!

This trip happened in August 2006.
