Mine has to be the first time we went to Bali - way back in 1978, we were on our honeymoon! There was a free dinner to be won on the flight over and I think they knew we were on our honeymoon and yes, we won it. It was a dinner for 2 at the Bali Beach. Anyway we were picked up from our hotel in Sanur and taken to the Bali Beach and thought it was out of this world (and said next time we come to Bali, this is where we will stay). After finishing our beautiful meal we were told that a car was waiting to take us back to our hotel, as we got into the car there were two young guys sitting in the front. We started off back to our hotel but the only thing was we were going down all these back streets, a completely different way to how we had come. It was very dark and as we were quite young and naive in those days we were feeling very scared. All off a sudden the car stopped (and we looked at each other and thought this is it, we're gone). The one guy turned around and said sorry, I'm just dropping my brother off, well what a relief. We have been back to Bali many times since then and did stay at the Bali Beach on our next visit. We often have a laugh when we think back to that night.
