Stayed at the Besaki in Sanur.
Back then transport was an old run down Valiant or Zephur, besides the old green Bemo's.
A Bemo driver would honk and if you raised your hand they would stop and ask where you wanted to gO. !!!They would state a price and if all bartering was done they would get any locals out, give them their fare money back each and off we would go...
I felt terrible for the people who had been turfed out but they didn,t seem to mind.
Our next visit was 1989 and we have been once or twice a year since
and the progress from one year to another in Kuta still blew us away
with how quickly they can build or move ahead!!
We are booking at the moment for our 27th visit to Paradise in July.
Can't waite!!!!!!!!!!
