Sunday, 10th June, 9.00 p.m.
One of Bali's many famous terrace rice fields...- Met fellow travelers from Australia for trip to Kintamani (volcanic area).
- Nice people.
- Places visited were attractions but not tourist traps:
- Cultural shows (Barong and kris dancers) locals also come to watch.
- Silver handicrafts wrought by descendents of royal silversmiths.
- Batik factory.
- Family of woodcarvers – got myself a Balinese barong mask crafted by master-crafter (not apprentice) out of sandalwood.
- Visited two Hindu temples – Goa Gajah & Holy Water Temple.
- Lunch at Kintamani – 2 volcanoes in one. First exploded to form a crater lake, then exploded again to form a volcano from the center of lake.
- High altitude and cold – 20ºC indoors, 24ºC outdoors with sun!
- Visited farm – coffee, vanilla, cacao.
Green coffee berries
- Art studio/village.
- Exchanged addresses and contacts with Australian couple; urged me to visit them.
