Finally talked the wife into going back after 10 years this time with 2 kids in tow 9& 6. This will be my 4th visit. 1st in 1980 with a mate, 1992 and 1995 with the lovely Mrs. Was interested in feedback as to whether Bali is now too Westernised.
In 1980 Kuta was a 1km strip of shops with Tuban, Legian, Seminyak not even on the map. The road between Sanur and Kuta was like a small country back road surrounded by rice paddies. Very easy to get around on Mopeds although there was only 1 petrol station btween Kuta and Denpasar. The people were as gentle then as what they are now.
This time staying 15 nights at Bali Garden in May -can't wait.
I know you can't stop progress but will Bali be another Gold Coast in 10 -20 years time and if so then where do we go ????
