Our Day Out - Bali

We spent one day with a driver, spending over 9 hours travelling through the mountains to the other side of the island.  Again, another day well spent away from the hotel.

'Floating' monastery on a lake, high up in the mountains (with even more mountains in the background)


Rachel posing in front of the temple.  It was very cold up there, hence the sarong.










Next stop, monkeys on the side of the road.  Not the monkey forest, but monkeys in a forest.  Very cute to see.






Posing in-front of one of the 5 lakes.
Another lake
3rd stop, an amazing (again I use that word - don't know how else to explain it) waterfall.   This photo turned out really well with a long exposure.  Looks like milk! 
Rachel in-front of the waterfall.
Both of us together
I look really serious - I think I was upset that my thongs were soaked, and we had 300 steps to climb still!
More camera effects (not photo-shopped)!!
4th stop - the hot water springs.  If the water looks green, your right, it is.  Definitely didn't look inviting, but the  intrigue of the hot water made us go for a swim.


Lovely Rachel trying to tell me how green and slimy the water felt (and looking cute as always)


The upper pool was even warmer - not for me!


Last stop was Lovina, a large town on the other side of the island, famous for the black sand beaches, and swimming with dolphins in a hotel pool!!
