Overseas tour Day 141 – Kuta, Tetebatu, Benang Kelambu waterfall, Senggigi

We started the day with a healthy brekkie option of natural fruit yogurt & berries – yum yum!

After a hour or so’s drive we stopped at a local street market to experience the food and goods on offer.

Our next stop took us to the village of Tetebatu, the home of our guide Barry who then introduced his father who gave us a tour of the area and the working weavers.

As part of the tour of the village, Andy got the chance to try on some of the garments alongside his much loved Naples football top. Not sure the two go together….

We then went on a walk around the rice fields and vegetable garden shared amongst the villagers. It was so impressive to see how self sufficient they are, with rice playing a major part of their diet in all its many varieties.

Lunch venue – what a knock out

After crossing rivers and walking up banks we eventually arrived at our lunch stop, looking out across the valley over the coconut trees and paddy fields.

In the afternoon we headed to a national park in Rinjani to visit a couple of waterfalls.

After visiting the first waterfall, we were promised the opportunity to swim at the next larger waterfall. Just a 30min walk in between, with a few steps up and down!
