Sanur

Sanur: 9 km east of Denpasar. A really fine lagoon; the coral reef stretches for hundreds of meters out to sea with tide pools and swaths of sand. The specialty of Sanur is shrines carved in white coral. This area is known for its painters, orchestras, and performances of aria, a traditional opera of courtly romances. Sanur is billed as one of the most popular international resort areas of the East, yet most of its premier hotels are running at a terrible loss with only 40% occupancy level (except Texan-owned Hyatt: 90%). The drift is over to Kuta; its naughter. stay: At the end of the road on the beach are several shops on the left. Immediately behind these shops is a small complex of inexpensive rooms. After bargaining rates, should be about Rp4-500. There is also bungalowstyle accommodation on JI. Sanur for Rp1800-2000 with private bathroom; try Hotel Puri Mass, JI. Sanur 27. If you want to get away from Bali, go to the Bali Beach Hotel. Has a staff of 1000, airconditioning, telephone room service, selfopening doors. Sterilized double units, Aus$22; luxury suites, Aus$68. This hotel is 20 storeys high on an island where no buildings are now allowed to exceed the height of a palm tree. Costs Rp500 to launder a pair of socks, Rp3000 for breakfast, and Rp900 to jump in their pool. eat: At Swastika, close to the intersection of the main road to Denpasar, sample their pork spare ribs, Rp500, or their nasi goreng, Rp200. The Taverns serves Rp1800 meals that would be hard to equal in Paris for triple that price. At Jojo's, outstanding seafood, Rp600-2000. The only Italian restaurant on Bali is the Trattoria Del Marco (or simply 'Marco's'), open from 6 pm. Great food but expect to spend Rp2000 at least. Try the fillet steak or Spaghetti Viennese; also fine wines.
Serangan (Turtle Island): Off the S.E. coast of Bali. Reached by prahu from Sanur, Nusa Dua, or Benoa. The most beautiful seashells are on this island; women come up with trays full to show you. But the reefs make it dangerous to dive for them. Giant sea turtles are caught and kept to be fattened on sea grass until sold as a specialty to restaurants. On a moonlit night watch them lay eggs on the beach. The children of this island fly huge kites hoisted into the air from outrigger canoes. Pura Sekenan (Turtle Festival) is held here once a year when droves of people cross over the sandbars bearing offerings to the sea temples. Towering giant puppets, barong landung, are carried by canoe in a water procession

in Bali we must point out a very important distinction which the Balinese make between two clearly separate groups of ancestors. The first of these groups consists of the dead who are riot yet completely purified. This group is in turn subdivided in pirata, those riot yet cremated, and pitara, those already cremated. The former are still completely impure; the latter have been purified, but are still considered as distinct, individual souls. The second group consists of the completely purified ancestors who are considered as divine.
No contact is sought with the pirata, the dead who have not yet been cremated. Oil the contrary they are dangerous, Offerings must however be made for the redemption of their souls.
