We went hashing with Bali H3 on the Thursday evening.  It was a great spot on south Bali with great views.

People were very welcoming.  The only strange thing was that rather than all starting at the same time (and the official start time is 4.30)

Everyone seems to set off at different times.  So not much point in having checks..   There is short and long run and the two keep joining so can be confusing at times..

 

    

 

The sea was so clear that it was if there was an underwater city..

Cows were very pretty too….

 

    

 

We visited a batik factory and a silver factory..  very interesting to see..

 

    

The silver factory had a big shop…       This is one of the temples in the Monkey forest.. 

 

  

This monkey decided to check if Richard had any fleas on his hat.

He then proceeded to try to get into his bag ..

 

    

Monkeys playing in the fountain..           Monkeys everywhere

We went to a traditional dance on Friday Evening but this was a bit special as there was no music, just enchanting by all the men..

The rh picture is another temple.

 

There are so many temples in Bali as every house has a temple in the garden and each village has a village temple also, so more temples than houses !!!
