We did the stopover on the way home from Europe in '82.
One way ticket over with Singapore Airlines and home with Garuuudda Indoneeesia.   $510.00 from London.
450 IDR to AUS$ first visit '78.
Everything seemed to cost a $ then though.

Peanuts pub crawls, drinking comps at Cassablanca's, Early morning walk on the beach home to hotel after big night out. Yarnies, Jaffles they were the days.

I didn't know bars or pubs existed ha ha, I must have had blinkers on. We used to buy daiquiris for $1.00 and I remember sitting at the old Mades in Kuta, with the wooden shutters and long wooden tables.

The Casablanca, that was the bar that was across the road from the Pub. I remember a Bar Restaurant that was off Jalan Legian called Yannies that was run by an Australian guy and his Balinese wife. He was one of the first ones to organise water rafting trips from his bar. Does anyone know what happened to him? I went back one year and he had closed down. Someone said it was because his landlord put his rent up too high.

Those stairs at Casablanca were a nightmare but I think the toilets at Maxi's were worse....I could never quite get the hang of having to squat after a few drinks  On a serious note though...I loved Nusa Lembongan....white, white sandy beaches....it felt like you were marooned on a island....far, far away

Did anyone buy one of those blowpipes they were selling on the streets in the 80s? I bought one and customs took it off me and sprayed it when I got back. It looked a right mess when I picked it up off them.

1984 for me-Kuta Palace back then with 5 other young guys from Country WA. Remember getting a massage in the grounds of Bali Mandira and back then was considered way out of town. Cassablancas and Peanuts each night and watching the sun rise without going to bed only to repeat the dose the next day.The meals were very dodgy back then and fish and chips was a whole fish and a roasted spud.
Loved every bit of it.
cheers

1977, part of a trip organized by uni. First time away from home  . Java through to Bali and return to Jakarta. Didn't want to leave Bali  . The rest of the trip was also fantastic but fell in love with Bali

Hmm, you will . I'll have to get around to scanning more too. Maybe I'll put them on facebook - I had one on there, more for shock factor, I can hardly remember that my arms were actually that skinny
