Day trip to Kuta

Tuesday, November 1st, 2005

Hard to pick a starting point but here goes.

Took a taxi into Kuta the other day. This is the “main” tourist part of the island. it is very busy, and quite western for a small Balinese town. Starbucks, HardRock Hotels etc. You may remember that Kuta has been the main focus of the bombings over the past few years. We didn’t notice any slow down in the economy because of the most recent bombs but this is our first time here so our fram of reference is limited. Most people have said that the slow down has been minimal compared the first bombing. good thing.

Kuta is not our favorite part of Bali by a long shot but it does have beautiful beaches and great surfing apparently. If you want to get a Grande Decaf Vanilla Latte, and a Big Mac, you definitley can. Tons of shops selling stuff at “good price.” You can get a collared Polo shirt for a few bucks. Lots of arts, crafts, sarongs etc. Also great furniture and other large items (rugs, statues…)

Did have a great lunch here. The food has been wonderful in Bali!

Have spent most of our time roaming around Sanur.
