Farewell
Monkey Forest
Tenganan Village
Today we visited a native Balinese Village called Tenganan. It is one of the two only true Balinese
Villages. It is known for it's textile, specifically double ikat technique. There are currently about 625 people in the village. If people within the village marry people outside the village they are not allowed to stay in the village. That's the way of the village.

Candi Dasa
Candi Dasa is a sleepy beach town on the Southeast side of Bali. It takes about an hour to get there and is very popular with retired German tourists.
Moma worthy
On the way we saw a man pushing his truck out of a lake, a dark nude man bathing, huts, free range cattle, and green for days. It was so beautiful getting there.
Dinner Time. Hair flowers included in the all inclusive meal.


The gears don't work and the seats squiggle from side to side.. want a ride?
