Back from Bali on Friday after being away for 12months and I must say I was amazed by the amount of construction going on . I knew about the airport extension but the amount of new hotel complexs being built beggers belief. Don't get me wrong here but I personally think it is going to ruin Bali to a degree . They seem intent on putting up more hotels to accommadate the tourist trade but seem to have done very little to improve the inferstructure such as sewage ect . It was fantastic to be able to walk down decent paths in Legian after many years of dodging potholes ect .
To get off this subject for a minute I saw something that really made me ashamed to be a westerner . We were stopped by the police near Discovery because they had closed the road off to allow two cremation parades to pass through . This didn't sit well with a westerner who tried to do a u turn and reversed into the middle of the first parade , not giving a rats behind if he had hit someone or not . Mate if you're reading this I hope Karma comes and bites you on the backside POOR FORM .
There I have vented my spleen and feel so much better now . Must say it was the one of the best Bali trips we have done in 15yrs . No more hotels for me it's villa from now on ( can't give you the name advertising you know).
