In 1975, I travelled overland from Jakarta, as in those days only package deal tourists were allowed to fly directlt to Bali.
After a 24 bus trip to Bali, I finally stumbled off the bus in Kuta, I was very tired and dirty.
I walked down a sandy track to the beach which later became Jl Pantai Kuta. A "lady" stopped me and offered her services. I spurned her and staggered onwards to the beach. Her boyfriend later stopped me and offered his services which I also spurned!
I jumped into the water fully clothed to wash off the dirt from the 24 hour bus trip.
