Bali, Indonesia

We spent the day in Bali, Indonesia one of the 17,000 islands that make up this beautiful country with kind and generous people. While most of the people in Indonesia are Muslim, in Bali 88% of the people are Hindu. After an hour of shopping at a market near the ship, we set off to a twilight dinner and dance in the village of Celuk. Our dinner was in the Bali Bird Park which was filled with hundreds of exotic birds. I will include photos but I have no idea of the names of most of the birds . One black bird spent about 5 minutes perched on my head. After a walk around the very humid park, we enjoyed a fabulous Indonesian meal and watched a traditional Bali dance called the Kecak. Then we were treated to the fire dance. A young man danced in the fire of coconut husks. When we got back to the ship we were treated to yet another dance show onboard just before we set sail for Java. We are now moving into the exotic Asian worlds that are very new to us.Read more
