Bali Fringing Reef
There are many areas of Bali where the reef fringes the coast as can be seen here from the air.

Jemeluk Bay
This is the area where we did most of the snorkeling.

Blue Star Cafe Temple
Each home has a temple. This is the temple attached to the Blue Star Cafe compound. It is very important part of the Bali life.

Our Accomodation
Looking across the Jemeluk Bay to our bungalow.

Pig in Mud
The villagers keep pigs, chickens and cows. These were pigs near to our bungalow.

Fishing Boat
This is the traditional style of fishing boat. This one has a bow like a marlin.

Kogmang father's boat
This is Kogmang's father's boat in which we went out to catch mackerel.

Kogmang at the controls.
The boats are driven by a straight shaft motor and Kogmang has a hand-line with 150 hooks on it which we drag through the water.

Dolphins
We did not catch any fish but came upon this pod of about 60 dolphins. Kogmang reckons they scared the fish away.

Volcano in the background.
The sun-setting over the volcano Mt. Agung with the motor just in front of me.

Fishermen setting sail.
The fishermen from the village set out for the evening fishing trip. They fish during the early morning and late evening, though some do stay out all night.

Barb and the sacred mud.
During our trip to the sacred springs Barb tries the regenerating powers of the mud from the springs.

Trying the water from the Sacred spring.
Trying the Sacred spring water. It tasted of lemon, one of the others has a copper taste to it. Very refreshing on a hot humid walk.

Paddy fields.
We climbed up through these rice (Paddy in Bali) terraces to reach the Sacred springs stream.

Recently planted rice.
The rice here was about 6 weeks old.

Planting the Paddy field.
These scenes reminded me of boyhood in British Guiana, when we use to see the rice planting all the time.

Plowing the field.
The plowing is nearly always dome by hand with cattle, did see a mechanical plow in Ubud last time we were here.
