We had only planned to pass through Sanur but quickly fell in love with this sleepy seaside town (aptly nicknamed "Snore" for the profound lack of surf). A town of chocolate (99% cocoa) and coffee (Civet digested - we spotted a mum and her baby in a large cage). We happily spent every night eating local dishes at the famous night markets, dishes like bakso, 2inch thick banana pancakes and buffets of foods we couldn't even distinguish. Evenings were also filled with music, local bands and music shops, but mostly kids playing large marimbas and drums for hours on end to no particular tune.
Most mornings we indulged in breakfast on the beach. We were spoilt for choice with hundreds of sandy cafes to choose from lining the long white coast. Jetskis hooning around amongst the swimmers. We couldn't believe our eyes when we stumbled across a huge Hardy's Store - where you could buy anything and everything imaginable in one shop! A big contrast to the tiny but numerous repetitive open-air souvenir stalls that lined the busy streets.
