Looking back at Bali-

Posted in Travel by Derek Dunfee on July 29, 2009

After a 9 year hiatus, i returned to Bali. I havent been back to Bali since i was 17, so i wanted to show a few photos that show the new development in the Ulu Watu area.

Bali-year 2000- just the Beginning of the Blue Point resort

2009- and all the new warung's. Including a surfshop called Gangsta surf, a fake cement wave to take photos in, and 6 different people shooting with 600-Lenses-just to sell the tourist photos.

Path to the 'Gong' hotel. I paid this 50-year-old bali lady to carry my boards from Ulu watu to this hotel, probably for less than 2 dollars,what a young punk!
