Thanks for your thoughts. On my first trip I recall being near the Kintamani volcano and trying to take a photo, while the hawkers were shoving postcards in front of the camera of the same thing. Then I thought this is their livelihood while I am just here for my pleasure, so how could I get cross? But by the end of the trip I was getting so fed up I just wanted to go home. But I also wanted to go back again!
The next time I went back to Bali I coped with all this so much better and we are returning again for our fourth trip in July. It just kind of grows on you, but then, it doesnt take me so long to get there!
