Trip to Indonesia 2019, Part 6



2019 Apr 29 - Bali
















In the Hindu-dominated Bali (unlike the Muslim Java) you can eat pork, but not cow.

If you are catering to the Balinese Muslims, you tell loud and clear that you are halal.

In the depicted portion there are various pork products.







Drive carefully. Religious preparations going on. Funeral in this case.


























Riding a car from Denpasar to the lakes in northern Bali.

















Lakes Tamblingan and Bunyan.

Not all of the bamboo is completely bamboo.









Want to order? Ring the bamboo!












Licensed selfies.










Licensed selfies. Handara is a world-famous site: people queue for a selfie. The mountain at the background is a little bit misty.
































This famous temple at the western shore of Lake Beratan is also depicted on the 50000 rupiah note.

The plackard lists the locally promoted 7 virtues of safety, orderliness, cleanliness, coolness, beauty, sociability, reminiscence.









Eating rabbit in a Muslim-owned mini-restaurant.










A quick market visit while our rabbit meat dish was being prepared.

The fourth image depicts buah salju ("a snow fruit" ?), white, sweet and fluffy inside. The fruit seems to be unknown to the common online dictionaries and encyclopedias.



























Tanah Lot is a famous temple complex at the southwestern coast of Bali. The main temple is detached from the dry land by a patch of sand covered with variable depth of seawater, requirind a bit of wading. At the high tide the path to the temple is not traversable.












Trip from Tanah Lot to Denpasar.







Traffic sign reading challenge.















A late-night seafood dinner at Blue Marlin, Jimbara, Denpasar. Not at the cheap end of the scale! Five people ate themselves full at about 120 €. The seafood variety was extensive and excellent, and the ingredients were very fresh and prepared with high skills.







Deva Ruci.







Lestari brought us a delicious breakfast. Thank you!














Going to Sanur at the eastern edge of Denpasar.
















Bajra Sandhi monument. Historically important and informative.

Ticket price depends on nationality. There is an optional 3D movie at extra cost. We did not view it.
