It's not that hawkers (roving sellers) are so terribly aggressive in trying to sell their wares, but that WE seem to be the only tourists around here. One sarong shop lady said she has not had business in three days. Though I appreciate the quiet, it's a little odd to be the only person in an entire bungalow complex or restaurant. We have not yet run into another tourist from the U.S. Most are from elsewhere in Asia, Australia and a few Europeans. We upgraded for double our money from yesterdays hotel fare to $24, but the regular advertised rate for this nice place is $60. We decided to stay one more night in Sanur as Morgan seems so tired still, and she needs a pool or something fun. She is terribly unimpressed with the beach which has some sort of erosion issue and is all sea weedy which "freaks her out".
We drove up to the beautiful Bali Bird Park today, which was both soothing and exciting as most of the 200 species and thousands of birds were free in the park. It was nice to see Morgan so happy (and cooled off) here. The birds were very in charge! A beautiful red bird kept diving at my head (nesting material?). Best of all was the very cool rope bridge going up into the giant trees so where we could really upset them.
Could only glance at the beautiful pink sunset while driving the two of us downthe highway of hell back to Sanur during rush hour. But the real cause of being rattled were all the cops, who are known to be very corrupt, I think one may have been trying to flag me over, I just kept driving...hoping I wouldn't be worth coming after, heart beating fast.
