Cooking gang at class.

Looking the part: getting busy in the kitchen.

• Gang was fun and had lots of fun, especially with Australians who hadn’t seen much tropical fruits, here's how they described some of the fruits tried:

• Pomelo – “grapefruits on steroids”.
• Starfruit – “were the fruits cut into star shapes?”
• Yellow watermelon – “I expected them to be pineapples, but they taste like watermelon”.

• Went off to meet fellow travelers and headed for Dreamland – surfers’ paradise. Beautiful waters, great sand and sun.
• Uluwatu for the second time – fellow travelers wanted to see kecak dance; I went there to catch the sunset.
