Transponder (Arq) in Bali

Saturda7 12th March
Yesterday to a coffee plantation. I am always interested in coffee. They have a very expensive "Luwak" coffee (Google where it comes from
) but I couldn't see that it was all that better. I got a bag to try at home, anyway.
Drove onto the Lake Batur Temple and temple. In times of drought, these mountain lakes provide all the water needed for agriculture. There is a lot off it, too. In UK we may have a patch of grass by the side of the road. In Bali they make it into a rice -field.
We went onto a waterfall but got caught in on of those thumping Bali rainstorms and Made (hostel owner and guide) said it was not safe.
We went onto the view over Lake Buyan and beat the rain to the rice terraces of Tegallalang, where we has the usual soupy Balinese curry with the red variety of brown rice they grow there.
On the way back, a visit to the royal temple at Mengwi. Well worth seeing.
Another dance performance in the evening and an anchovy pizza afterwards. Fine apart from the surprising addition of bits of squid, which I don't think worked.

Just found these blog things.
Cool that you went to Bali! I've been saving up little bits at a time to make a trip to Indonesia as well. Bali sounds like a beautiful place.
Nothing like the America I'm used to.Posted 11-10-2016 at 10:40 AM by Skyl3r

Just saw your comment. It was cool. In some ways better than when I went in the 80's as a penniless back -packer. Good advice (if you ever visit) is avoid Denpasar, the capital. Stay in one of the villages. There are plenty of village guest -houses to stay at now.Posted 09-29-2019 at 03:55 AM by TRANSPONDER
