Bali

My family and I were in Bali for a week. Been to many places (will try to remember the names), saw many interesting sites, and tasted great many good food. Although the aftereffects of having too much spicy food for a week is what I'll have to bear with now.

Bali is beautiful. But one piece of advise: if you're like me and like culture and nature more than commercialism, clubbing and congestion, then you might want to stay in Ubud for 3-4 days and only 1-2 days at Kuta.

Here goes the pix...

Babi Guling -- famous and must have at Ubud.

Mum and I sitting under a bamboo bush.

The Ubud Pasar. Lots of arts, crafts and souvenirs.

Guitar Miniatures

Padi -- you'll see fields all over the countryside of Bali.

And even at where we stayed -- Nick's Pension. Ducks in the field going home after the evening feed.

Ever seen spiders like this before?

You ain't seen nothing yet. This one's bigger!

Kintamani Volcano

And Batur Lake beside the volcano.

Tampak Siring -- holy spring temple

Visitors and locals taking a dip in the temple's holy water.

Balinese worshiping in the temple.

More paddy fields. See this almost everywhere.

And they are mostly planted on terraces.

Goa Gajah. No elephants, though. This is an ancient temple.

 The next day...

 We went to the palace temple.

 Then we went to Bedugul.

 It was a rainy day, but it was still beautiful all the same.

 The water is ice cold.

Thank you Lord, for your wonderful creation. :)
