A bridge in Bali
By now, many of you know that when I travel, I look for a bridge. So here
is a bridge in Bali. Why Bali? One of my colleagues has a home in Bali and
decided that a retreat was in order to plan, without distraction our
program for Singapore. Without distraction means no TV, no Internet, no
phone and no rain. It was perfect.
Here is our flight path - VF 541 from Singapore to Denpasar, Bali and VF 542
from Denpasar to Singapore
Here is Bali
and here is the path from Denpasar to Bob's place - with an intermediate
stop PJs by the beach.
Here is a Bali bridge
and here is Bob's home
and here is the waterfall below Bob's home - that feeds the Ayung River
Some street scenes: ladies carrying stuff
and more colorful ladies carrying stuff
A carriage
Moto-man
A lady walking by the beach
Then I visited some rice fields
Another field
Cutting rice
After separation, throwing it to separate the grains from the stalks
More throwing
A boy and girl having a date by the canal for rice field irrigation
At the local temple were some men with roosters
Herding ducks on the way home one evening
Our neighbors like pet snakes - so here is the green python and our
neighbor's son
and another view of me and our friendly python
There was a wonderful evening dinner with a classical dance program.
Look at the eyes
And here also
On the way home, we stopped at PJs and watched a man net fishing while
airplanes landed at Denpasar
Bye bye from Bali
