Road maps are quite the scourge. They tell you your destination is just an inch away but once you take to the road, it is never "just around the corner." You find yourself walking ... and walking ... and walking ... and never reaching the danged place.
It was a good thing we stumbled upon Ground Zero. Wait! It wasn't good as in "good" if you catch my drift. Stumbling upon the site beats the humdrum walk ... the walking ... and walking ... and walking ... to that place which almost always lay just behind that corner.
Ground Zero was the place which was devastated during the 2002 Bali Bombing. It ruined the tourist industry and most Balinese had to leave the country to seek employment elsewhere. Tourism was a big part of their economy so it was a bad time for just about everyone.
Today, the site is used for parking. We hear that there are no plans to develop the area.

The Ground Zero Memorial was built right in the middle of a part of the road where two smaller ones merged. It is located across the road from the above Parking Area.
