Our first trip was 24yrs ago & I remember the scenes you have described well.
The memory of the intense heat & smell that hit us on initial disembarking & walking across the tarmac, we carry with us still.
Dayu is still a favourite & they remember me each time I visit - now with my family.
I recall Cold Chisel's "Working Class Man" being played full volume from many of the cassette stores at the time too.
Rice fields were prolific in downtown Kuta - nothing like the infill that exists today.
All wonderful memories...
