Sanur, Bali

 FEB 8, 2020

We started our vacation in Bali in the beach town of Sanur. It is a quiet location but close to the airport which made it a natural choice. We stayed at a guest house just a short walk to the beach. I had not been in Sanur since 2016 and I was shocked to see all the development. The beach front is changing into big resorts. There are less roads to the beach and less beach access than before. There are way more stores and restaurants in town. It is becoming very busy and very commercial.

However, it is still sleepy. It was quiet and we not see many people on the beach. The locals all tried to get us to shop in their stores. I could see that it would be difficult for the local shops to make money. The small mom n pop restaurants were gone and replaced with fancy and expensive restaurants.

We only had 3 days in Sanur but we enjoyed ourselves. We snorkelled in the sea grass and lounged on the beach. We both got sun burns. I ate some delicious grilled fish. Three days were over in a flash. Suddenly, it was time to re-pack our bags and head out to our next location. Our driver Budha picked us up at 9am.
