We came home on the 26/1 and the beaches (particularly Legian) were really dirty. It was so sad to sea, not so much for us as we are only on holdiday. I really felt for the locals who spend alot of time on the beach..not just working but also as they seem to spend alot of late afternoons as families. My husband and I questioned the affect this will have on tourism, because it was no longer pleasant to take a morning walk, have your kids build sand castles and hard to watch sunsets while treading over rubbish. i really hope that this is only a short term problem that can be addressed. Just my opinion.
