This, my first proper visit to Bali, has me convinced I will never return voluntarily. Our fellow tourists are truly awful. Either you have the Australian party animals or the spiritual yogi organic types. I don’t know which is worse. We did have an excellent meal though, surprisingly delicious, at Locavore where the GF and I had a rare afternoon to ourselves. Tomorrow we return to KL, and I am quite looking forward to it, if only to escape this hellhole.
I would have liked to have seen some really good dance, and to understand a little more about Balinese Hinduism, but the carapace over it all is diamond hard and impossible to penetrate without time and without staying in a resort such as this where I am the only non-white person, and there are no locals other than the staff.
I will say, the food was excellent at this resort.
