We headed to Bali's south coast from Lovina over
the fertile mountains and down to the
tourist traps of the south coast. With its
unique Hindu population Bali is strikingly different
from the rest of Indonesia, with a rich and varied
history, lots of temples, roadside shrines
and colourfully dressed men and women. With a huge
influx of tourists every year it is also

so far.

fruit and vegetables.
Our return trip took us over another high mountain
road via the traditional craft village of Ubud and the
rice terraces beyond.
 At the top of the pass we stopped for lunch above
the lake created by three volcano's
