I have a photo looking up Jalan Melasti from the beach end as just a skinny dirt track with market stalls all the way along. I rode all over Bali on the back of a motorbike with no helmet (not required by law). Hotel Tjampuhan was the only hotel in Ubud with electricity, which was off more than on! Remember drink vendors chasing you down the road wanting the empty coke bottle back? Remember sate with 'spicy - hot' sate sauce? Rememer walking from the plane to the airport building? The smell! Fantsatic! Remember being almost the only one at Tanah Lot to watch the sunset? (sigh) Them were the days!
