After a relaxing nights sleep and breakfast in the homestay, we headed to hot water springs in Kintamani.

After a short walk into the jungle, we came across the beautiful pools which proved to be hot and rich in healthy minerals which reputedly help to slow down the aging process, time will tell!!

We then moved on to a traditional village in the mountains near Bangli, where we were treated to a traditional meal and Balinese dancing.

Once the professionals had shown us how to do it, one by one we all had a go, Andy being the first to show off his moves!

We then had the opportunity to try on their traditional dress in readiness for making an offering at the local temple.

It was such good fun and great to feel a part of the community, even for just a couple of hours.

After each making our own offerings, we then participated in a temple visit where we were blessed and said our prayers of happiness and peace.

As we drove to our nights stay up in the mountain above the volcano at Bangli, we tried some local fruits. One was Durian, the most expensive fruit in Indonesia costing upwards of £40 per fruit is covered in a spiky shell and has a disturbing potent smell and an unusual savoury taste, akin to cheese.

We eventually arrived at our nights stay which would have had great views over the lake and volcano basin, but for the rain clouds and mist. Hopefully they will pass in the morning and we can get some photos from the mountain top.
