period in Bali are romantic depictions of daily
life and beautiful Balinese women - often Ni

better condition and show less signs of wear

became popular with young Balinese artists.
There are beautiful black-and-white photos

AC TIVITIES
Sur fing
Sanur's fickle breaks (tide conditions often
don't produce waves) are offshore along the
reef. The best area is called
Sanur Reef
, a right
break in front of the Inna Grand Bali Beach
Hotel. Another good spot is known as the
Hyatt Reef,
in front of, you guessed it, the Bali
Hyatt. However, this break is easily blown out,
so only try this one on calm days. See p79 for
details on these surf breaks.
Post
There are convenient postal agencies on Jl
Danau Tamblingan.

SIGHTS
Museum Le Mayeur
The Belgian artist Adrien Jean Le Mayeur de
Merpes (1880-1958) arrived in Bali in 1932.
Three years later, he met and married the
beautiful Legong dancer Ni Polok when she
was just 15. They lived in this compound,
which houses the museum, when Sanur was
still a quiet fishing village. The main house
must have been delightful - a peaceful and
elegant home filled with art and antiques
right by the tranquil beach. After his death,
Ni Polok lived in the house until she died
in 1985. The house is an interesting exam-

Bali Orchid Garden

soil, no-one should be surprised that orchids
thrive in abundance here. At this

the back areas, which have a wild tropical

as books about the gorgeous flowers. It's 3km

the major intersection with the coast road, Jl
Bypass Tohpati.

Diving
The diving near Sanur is not great, but the
reef has a good variety of fish and offers
quite good snorkelling. Sanur is the best de-
parture point for dive trips to Nusa Lem-
