Revisitng 2002
This was supposed to be a full day tour, but after Tanah Lot we were feeling a bit tired and wondered if we would manage the second half, to Uluwatu.
We soldiered on, as Komang had committed to taking us, and on the way we parked at Legian right on the remnants of the Sari Club bombing site. Interesting that the locals are charging for you to park there. Chelsea, Neil and I walked over to the memorial to the victims of the 2002 bombings.( Once again there were steps, hence Richie staying put.) It doesn't seem that long ago that it happened.
Back in the car and we began our drive down to Uluwatu, but Richie began to feel sick and Neil had a bit of the dreaded Bali Belly, so we stopped at a supermarket to use the toilet. Therein lay another lesson for young players - squat toilets are not practical for people in wheelchairs! Having said that though, the staff there were awesome in helping Richie access the facilities, and they both emerged unscathed. We did not continue to Uluwatu, however, and decided to go back to the resort and recover in the pool. Komang was good about it, and we arranged to meet him in another two days.
After cooling off we had tea at the Sports Bar at the resort, and had once again to negotiate steps down into it. We all, Neil especially, slept well that night!
