Bali 2025, Monday February 24th, a day tour (1)

On Monday, February 24th, Kevin & I had a early start as we had arranged our first guided tour of  Bali. We had a latte coffee & croissant for our breakfast in Cafe Saka, before meeting our guide West.

During the morning we were taken to villages, each specialising in a particular craft, Batik fabric, Gold & silver jewellery workshops.

We attended a Barong & Kris Dance, Jambe Budaya in Barubulan village. 

Like the Fire dance the previous evening, the dance told us a "good over evil" story. 

One of the amazing costumes, Barong & Kris Dance. 

While we watched the dance, it started to rain, the rain was torrential, but we were luckily under the cover of the theatre.

The rain also cleared the clammy air and the temperature was slightly cooler.

We visited our first Hindu Temple, in Batuan village.

Before our lunch we visited the Tegenungan village, famous for a spectacular waterfall. 

For lunch we went to a traditional Balinese restaurant, Warung Dewa Malen, and while we had our lunch we had views of rice fields.

We had Crispy duck, rice, vegetables and a beer.
