Gas Station

Posted by Steve Rice (Olympia, United States) on 12 June 2012 in Miscellaneous.

I mentioned that I chose to walk back and forth along JL Suweta from downtown Ubud to Waka Di Ume, where we stayed. It was a distance of 1.5 kilometers (0.9 miles). I got little glimpses into life along the street that I would have missed in a car.

These small shops would repair the ever-present motor bikes and sell fuel.

Along JL Suweta
Beautiful Bali

A great perspective looking down this street of vendors. Not my idea of a gas station. And here I thought I was looking at bottles of chardonnay.
