We are headed to a new place in Bali. To the NW corner of the island we go. We have hooked up a ride through the hotel and are therefore sheltered from the bargaining with the plethora of taxi touts waiting at the arrivals gate. A bit of hunting around and me meet our fellow, to the parking garage and we are off.
It is a long way to Pemuteran, 4+ hours if things are perfect. Of course the passage through Denpasar is tedious. It takes well over an hour just to clear the city limits. Then we move along quite well. About 2 hours in the driver almost insists we stop at a warung, (after listening to the driver I believe it is pronounced, war-ung) Billy’s 69 for a bite to eat and a pee. We were not hungry but amused him anyway and ordered a pizza between the three of us. Maybe he gets a kickback from this particular place. It is definitely a tourist restaurant in the middle of nowhere, tourist prices and a 17% tax and service charge, so it must depend on drivers stopping there for their revenue.
We check in and hit the sack. I was out fast and slept well.
