From Bali With Love: Bali, Then & Now (From Bali With Love)

Long ago I found this website and it's been safely hidden away in my bookmarks until I recently discovered it again. It has some amazing old photographs of Bali. For those of you who are familiar with Bali, you will be stunned, but in case you aren't familiar with Bali, I've located a few recent photos for comparison.

Earliest Map of Bali, 1618

Jalan Legian is pretty quiet early in the day but at night, it's the one stop, bar hopping street that draws many tourist and locals alike.

Kuta Square Construction, 1993

Kuta Square is great for shopping. There are both local and western restaurants around this area, as well as an eyeglass store, shall you need to buy glasses or contacts :) And just a quick walk over to Kuta Beach, lands you your own front row spot to watch the sunset.

Poppies Lane 2, 1986

Poppies Lane Today...taken from Here.

Both Poppies Lane 1 and 2 are very narrow street ways now, with barely enough room for one car to travel down. It is definitely a ride you have to experience yourself with dozens or more bikes and cars trying to take these roads at the same time, all while trying not to run over the one hundred people walking around. Exaggeration...not really! :)
