Since this was supposed to be a steady relaxed trip, I really just wanted to stay in Ubud. However, because we arrive in Bali late at night, it might not be such a good idea to travel for over an hour to get to Ubud. So we decided to give Kuta 2 nights and one full day.
Original plan was to walk around Kuta then hire a cab to go to Uluwatu for Sunset then Jimbaran for dinner. But due to some unfortunate events and too many surf shop bargains, we just ditched our plan. So the day was spent walking down Jalan Legian and this alone can take up hours of your time if you’re not careful. Roxy. Billabong. Rip Curl. Quicksilver. Ralph Lauren. Keep repeating until the end of the street.
We stopped by the Bali Memorial which is dedicated to the 202 people who died in the Bali bombing of 2002. It was built on the site of the original Paddy’s Pub which was destroyed by the terrorist attack. The memorial lists the names and nationalities of all those killed in the attack. It is a beautiful reminder of lives that were unnecessarily lost.
