Finally, I was within. I must say there was a sense of fright before stepping through the doors. It is original. The current owner Lilian, has now worked there for 35 years but it dates to before the Hurricane of '38. Details litter the place, accentuating and enhancing the days of the past. From the pay phone booth with taxi numbers scrawled straight on the wall to the wooder ice boxes under the antique register. The beer selection is run of the mill LI style, with the full spectrum of LIGHTS. Full liquor selection. I left in love. My only suggestion is to pour some Bluepoint Lager from the taps, other than that I would'nt want to change the past at all.
A lot of my time was spent in Legian. If and when I return this will be my first destination again. I would walk for hours and stare with my mouth ajar at what was going on around me.
I spent a lot of my time galavanting through the rice farms of Ubud. Absolutely amazing views at every turn.
Everytime I am in a place that I don't trust the water I find myself replacing my liquid intake with the local beer. Especially in warm places its mostly light pilsners. Bintang kept my thirst quenched. Its only like 75 cents with the current exchange rates. Speaking of which when I got to Indo I was getting 9000 rpi for a dollar but by departure I was receiving 11500 rpi. My money was growing.
