Postcard from Sanur (Bali)

(Oct 20th)

We're now back in the Bali we're accustomed to.  We're staying in the laid-back beach town of Sanur on Bali's east coast.  Our room (at the Bali Hyatt) has an enormous rooftop terrace surrounded by lush vegetation with views of the sea.  The amazingly friendly attitude of the Balinese combined with Hyatt service works really well.  Every hotel staff member within eyeshot of us has wished us good morning/afternoon/evening, everyone at the Regency Club remembers our name, and they even brought us a Happy Honeymoon cake!  Strolling the beach boardwalk today we decided we like Bali so much we extended our stay as much as we could (only one day was possible it turned out.)  Yesterday we hired a car (and driver) to tour some sites on the island including the seaside temple Tanah Lot on the west side and some black sand beaches on the east side.  Really smooth black sand -- just like pristine white sand, except jet black.  It's safe to say we'll be sad to leave Bali in a few days, and we can say for sure that we'll be back.
