DAY 4: TIME FOR A TRIP.

So the way to get about in Bali is to hire a car with a driver and get him to take to you to all the places thou wanna see. Ours was called Toni (I don't think that's his real name).
We began with a few odd/cool statues.
Off to the temple on the lake (though it's actually by the sea - how does that work?)
And here it is, lets' go and have a look.
Just a few people who've already been there.
So we got blessed by a monk. Well we washed our faces in the stream, a bloke put some rice on our head a flower behind our ears and tapped us on the shoulder for a "Donation" - Wilko was well impressed.
I quite liked it.
She said it means "Mug" in Balinese.
It was spectacular though.
And she warmed up sooner or later.
A quite beautiful day.
And on we go.
To the next temple (we're number 6 - but don't tell anyone).

That's a good look.

Hello mate.
There's a "session" going on - bloody tourists taking photos.
It's alright there were loads of people doing the same and this lot were talking and smoking.

I'm getting quite use to this.
Wilko quite likes it too.
Some offerings - including a few sweeties.

Where next Toni.
Off to the Paddy fields.
Amazing.
It's just how they grow rice.
But it was spectacular.
Wilko is happy, honest.

Such beautiful patterns.
And Wilko's off to explore.
So beautiful.
All this walking, we need a hot spring. And luckily there was one on the way back.
And our first,Indonesian food. Not that impressive, but we got caught in a tourist trap. $10 for a buffet. But at least she's still smiling.
Now this is a lake, and quite impressive.

Shall we go on a boat ride? Or....
Out for some more cocktails.
Yep the cocktails won.
