MUMBLERS OVER MERTASARI

Pan-Pacific letch Leonard Lueras recently asked me to write the foreword for his coming book on Mertasari (the southern tip of Sanur before it turns into mangrove swamp).

I called the piece “A New Place for Old People.”

This morning I went to Mertasari Beach to photograph the Bali Trailblazer’s Mountain Bike Holiday Team for the coming Bali Triathlon (Four Seasons Jimbaran, 29 June 2009) and discovered a whole new scene down there by the temple and Lover’s Corner! (See photos).

Lovely English lass Claire Price has been training the team (see photos) for the relay event (there’s an Ozzie ring-in in the swimming section) and also five long-distance runners from Timor and Timor Leste (the Ethiopia of South-East Asia, runners-wise, it seems).
