Bali 2

The next four days in Bali did not pass in a boring way. Weather was stable as expected, but now we have had enough heat for a while, and motivation is high to return to australia, where the weather is more comfortable.

Looking for handmade scarfes.

We hired a taxi for one day and got to see more remote parts of the island. As a highlight our driver Ketut showed us a nice waving factory, where they produce carpets, scarves and other beautiful things by hand.

Coffee Plantation

After that he showed us a cocoa and coffee plantation, where we tasted the world famous Luwak Coffee. To produce this coffee, they select the very best coffee beans, feed them to an animal called Luwak and after he has turned them into poop, they will be cleaned again and are ready to be sold.

We visited several different evening markets and tried local dinner specialities. The absolut highlight was called Martabak. A big wrap filled with egg, chicken and spices. Even Finja enjoyed eating it and afterwards she was very happy to find herselfe sitting on her very first carousell (human powered, not electrical!)
