February 2020. We are still in Tucson, Arizona, well, often anyway. We continue our wanderings and enjoying our adventures. We haven't lived outside the US in awhile, but have lived in: Guatemala, Ecuador, the Netherlands (twice), Germany (twice) and South Africa. We have now traveled to well over 100 countries, but that doesn't mean we plan on stopping any time soon. ... full info

Bali View from Snorkel Boat

The northwest of Bali where we spent the week between the 2 Jean-Pictet competitions is mountainous - many volcanos in the range

Vihara Dharme Giril -Pupan Buddist Temple

Inside Palasari Catholic Church

Palasari Catholic Church. Love the way the locals have added some HIndu-ness to the church - the umbrellas on the alter like you see at Hindu shrines and temples

Taman Sari Resort Garden

One of countless (really - they were everywhere) gardens around the resort grounds. There were small shrines everywhere as well. Every morning you could watch the hotel staff making the flower offerings for the shrines

Farm House in Fog

Our day-long temple tour out of our resort in northwest Bali took us into the mountains, cool and rainy - LOVED it; welcome change from the heat of Denpasar and the low-lands

Taman Sari Resort - Our room view

We and 4 other units had a pool for our use only; there were 2 other larger pools, plus some bungalows all had their own pools

Street Decorations

Ubiquitous festival street decorations. Twice a year the decorations are replaced, so sometimes shinier, but always present.

Black Sand Beach

View from the Hindu Temple, northwest Bali

Bali Transport - TVs

I got such a kick out of the variety of goods moved by scooter, so took quite a few photos

Bali Transport

In the mornings it was common to see animal feed being taken to the fields

Bali Transport

We saw scooters with even higher stacks of cartons

Lunch at Taman Sari Resort

The ocean breeze was so very welcome, so we ate most of our meals at the resort

Bali Transport

Animal feed - early morning common sight

Bali Volcanos from Snorkel Boat

The northwest area of Bali is mountainous with far fewer people than the south and east. There are many volcanos in the mountain range - we could see one from our hotel and several from the snorkel boat

Snorkel Trip Lunch Stop

Lunch (resort provided) on an Manjangan (Deer) Island where the deer were a nuisance but the island delightful

Snorkel Trip to Manjangan Island

Manjangan (Deer) island was full of deer, many too friendly and tried to take food right out of our hands

Ganesha Temple/Snorkel Trip

As we boated around the area going to different snorkel sites, we saw many temples, single and complexes, on the islands

Taman Sari Resort & Spa

Our resort was quite rural and sat on the ocean at the foot of the mountains

Taman Sari Resort

Spent many an afternoon enjoying the sea breezes, a glass of wine, lunch, etc.

Taman Sari Resort & Spa

One of the bungalows that has a private pool in back

fond Bali memories!
thanks, as always, for the informative and lively reporting! I flashed on memories of my two visits to Bali, in 1990 and in 1993. I remember someone once explaining to me the scope of Indonesia...if a giant stood in Seattle and threw a clump of mud which splattered all the way to Miami, those 17,000 splatters would represent the Indonesian Archipelago Islands.

What a trip!
As I sit at home for the umpteenth week, this tour of Bali is a welcome diversion. As always, Kathy provides professional-quality photos with the historical background and narration so that I feel like a world traveler! Thank you! ?
