Lush & humid. Driving around Bali.....
Exploring the streets of Kuta, We did lots of shopping!
Lunch & Bintan at Mamma's
Crazy construction techniques in Bali are an every day occurance
Modern world meets third world. Abit of a disaster with dangerous wires everywhere! We had a black out on Christmas night which was interesting. Lemy & I were in the local beauty salon when all the power & lights went out! You had to laugh, even with a head full of hair mask....done by torch light!
Russel gets a tattoo. There are some very good tattooists in Bali. My son Daniel got a koi fish and paid only $120 Australian for it. It was exceptionally good. (I was jealous!) But you really need to know where to go for the 'good' tattooists. As in any city around the world....you have to be careful.
Not to mention it hurts like hell!
You see lots of this in every street in Bali. Very superstisous...
We visited the Sari club site and the memorial....
Walking the streets again. Gloria the monkey was there all day every day
Had to have a pic with Santa! (Outside our hotel Padma)
Day trip. You have to pay to go into the temples...

On the coast....Pretty place.. can't remember the name
Lunch or dinner?
At the Scared Monkey Temple. Cheeky little things...
Stone carving at the temple. The Indonesians are very fine craftsmen (& women)

Street scenes in Ubud which is very pretty
Markets in Ubud.I would have liked to spend more time in Ubud,
The markets are to die for, but don't get lost! (Ryan).
Far keft: Lady selling Knives was following us every where!
Day trip to Turtle Island. $45US each (Even if you did not participate in all the water sports)
Up close & personal with an iguana
Cute turtles. I felt sorry for them.
Unlike our turtles in the wild that you find in
Exmouth swimming wild in the sea
these creatures are kept in captivity, but help promote the tourist industry
which in turn benifits the locals who work for next to nothing....
Talking to a toucan with a very big beak!
Garuda the Indonesian national emblem. Now you know why they have Garuda airlines!
From left: Ryan, Lemy. Rolf, Me and Daniel
Ryan: Red rooster got alot of attention with that hair! ( Still does I think!)
Para sailing... very fun

Thanks to Rolf & Lemy we had the best Christmas ever! And I am not joking!
