Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Denpasar
Denpasar is the capital of Bali and a city that most visitors drive around rather than into, which is a shame because it is the part of the island that works for the Balinese rather than for tourists. It is crowded, noisy and full of scooters, with markets selling offerings, spices and fabrics, and temples tucked between shops. Puputan Square, the central park, commemorates the day in 1906 when the Balinese court, facing Dutch troops, walked out in ceremonial dress and chose death over surrender, an event known as the puputan. A fine museum nearby shows Balinese art and ritual.
