There has been a German retreat from Banjar Hills Retreat with the German couple Ralf Pelzner and Anke Sawalies returning to Germany after little more than eighteen months in Bali. What happened?
And what's going to happen next? Is there life after Bali? Will Anke again be waxing bodies at waxy-hexy and Ralf making pop music with the swing-doctors? (he's the one on the far right)
“Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.”
Anyway, following the departure of the German couple, the Australian "owners" (no foreigner can actually own Indonesian real estate) are now closing Banjar Hills Retreat and it is again up for sale. As one of the four part-"owners" put it, "We are through with the place. And we are through with Bali. The crowds, the traffic, the general greed are all very disappointing."
