Homestay
The homestay sounds great and that you lucked out with great hosts. I like the sound of the tasting and am trying to decide which one I would like best given the descriptions. I think it would be the final one you sampled. :)

Dancing in Bali
I'd make a beeline for the door if anyone ever tried to get me to get up and dance. Terrifying, and absolutely not my thing. We've been to Bali a few times now, and I remember plastic being a massive issue in the more touristy places years ago. Thankfully they now seem to get rid of this every day with machinery, but sounds like this has been a bit slow to make its way to the more out of the way places, which is really sad. And the way some of these places treat dogs. I love dogs. In Samoa, we were told that when they get too old they take them out into the middle of nowhere and just leave them there. Heartbreaking.

Perfect
I could just do with that lovely cup of coffe and beautiful view.

Sudemen
Thank you for the pronunciation guide. I was wondering how to pronounce Sidemen. The hike through the countryside looks and sounds great. I love that you met Lucy and she became an important part of your trip.

The beating rural heat
This journey is leading you to the beating rural heart of the island. Well done on your open minds and hearts. Bravo!

They look like really nice people and I get what you mean. I have never done a home stay program and it sounds like a good experience

Bali
It is nice reading your blogs taking us back to our time in Ubud and other areas. This is a country that has a transformation due to Hollywood and many of the changes are not good from our standpoint. Great food and drink photos.
