many years ago when we first tried to find S & S .We were staying way right down in Tuban & we had absolutely no idea that it was down so far in Legian past Melasti St.We had the 2 kids with us decided to go for a " short walk " down to this famous place everyone had been talking about.
A short walk from Tuban - what a load of BULL ! For a lousy 5 000 > 10,000 we could have caught a darn taxi & been there very quickly but NO we wanted to explore along the way ! I think by the time we had got to the Intan on the beach road - the kids were doing an
" Are we there Yet for the 1000th time " ( ALL parents WILL know what I mean & how painful it can be <VBG>)so we turned around & caught a taxi back to the hotel & opened the duty free & turned on the TV for the kids to shut up the whining.
These days all of our family feels as if S & S is home & that we are part of the furniture there.I think the funniest thing is that our teenage son has become so comfortable with Sammy & Suzi over the years & knows them so well - that if he is out on his own for a wander & has run out of money he just calls in there for a drink & they know they will be paid next time they see us ! he just plops himself down on a stool & happily talks to everyone whether we are there or not.Sammy said he thinks it's funny to see a teenage kid there on fitting in so well on his own _ (Okay before any one says Yes - I admit he IS Motor Mouth's son)
All I can add is that we all feel it is a great casual place to chill out & relax & meet fellow forumites & lovers of Bali.
