Sanur is a place that attracts its fair share of tourists when things are going well and its an area I haven’t explored much. So today I took the road down there from Seminyak. It takes about 20 minutes from Kuta and on Friday lunchtime the traffic was not too bad.
Sanur has decent size hotels close to the beach and is popular with short term vacation type tourists from Europe especially.
I was doing some promotional work here but stopped to check out the surf. Apparently the late showers we’ve been having recently have made surfing a pain and people are looking around for the best waves. The word was Sanur could be good today and it seemed fairly decent to a non surfer like me.
On the beach a school party insisted on having their photo taken with me and shaking my hand ( more on that later).
The tourist scene in Sanur has been hit harder than areas like Kuta I think because the budget minded people tend to start off in Kuta and higher scale tourists will be the first to stay away. Still the local businesses still have a market.
Will be interesting to see how things come around when the war in Iraq is over.
This evening Yumi and myself joined Bill and Susy for some nasi goreng down on Poppies I. He told me the surf was lousy recently and I said he should of went to Sanur.
