Bali

First of many temples in Bali - amazing architecture!

This entry will be a photo montage of Bali.  It is a marvelous place and photos hardly do it justice.  I think one would have to go to Bali and stay a month to experience it properly.  We barely dipped our toes in the water even though we spent 2 days touring around with Made, our private guide.  He is our room stewards brother and we went with one other couple, Trish and Mike.  The first day was a loooong day and we didn't get any shopping in! <Agast!>  So the 2nd day, Made returned and we went to the local market along with a few other stops - the post office being one and the other, the Bali version of Costco!

The people of Bali are wonderful, especially the kids...

These next 2 pics show a part of Bali that we never saw - looks like the resort area and they were taken from the ship as we relocated to anchor.

These textiles in the market were so colorful!  T-shirts, scarves, pashimas, dresses, on & on...
