Bali

We did not fly to Bali on Lion Air. However we did visit an art gallery where a Balinese artist had depicted Lion Air’s recent crash/ sea landing in traditional Balinese style.

It was strange to be in a Hindu culture as opposed to a Buddhist one. We loved the small offerings that were laid out everywhere every day.  They were on pavements, roofs, stones, rice paddies, car dash boards, temples…. everywhere. So pretty.

That said the shops in Ubud did have a lot of Buda's about the place. I liked the colours of these 2 sitting on the yellow table in front of a blue wall. And yes that is a big leaf. A very big leaf.

The rice paddies were so green and beautiful, and the terraces were so neat. These ones are part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. Beautiful!

… well they were beautiful until I fell down a hole and into one of them. Which amused Ant. I spent 10 min failing at cleaning off the mud before the walk of shame back up the hill to the car.
