After returning from touring Europe we settled down in the Inner West of Sydney. In the late seventies, friends returned from a trip to Indonesia raving about the stuff to see and do there, especially Bali. We decided to go with our daughter in 1980.

| "Beji 1 up" |
The tropical feel to the place was a real surprise to us, as well as the spectacular vegetation and the lifestyle of the local fol. We stayed at Kuta Beach as everyone did at that time and found the accomodation was (to us) quite luxurious. The fruit was unbelievable
We also had booked a lodging up in the mountains of
Ubud, at the Tjampuhan Hotel, the original abode of the painter Walter Spiess in the thirties. On the side of a Jungle stream, the whole place was exotic and the pace of the village life was totally relaxing. We adjusted our pace accordingly. It was then that we discovered "Murni's Warung"
