Scuba Divers Wandering Through Bali

Bali Pool
There is no rest for the adventure traveler!  The group has been very busy in Bali visiting temples, rice fields and yes, shopping.  I mean what type of trip would it be without a shopping opportunity?  If you are wondering about their time in Bali, here is the schedule for Ann’s group prior to starting toward the Arenui:

Day 1 Upon arrival in Bali 9:35 AM Transfer to Ubud (approx. 1hr 10mins)Tour John Hardy’s Factory, then to hotel
Day 2 08:00 Tour begins with a visit to Taman Ayun, Ulun Danu Bratan – Jatiluwih Rice Terrace. Lunch at Local Restaurant. Return to hotel
Day 3 09:30 Tour begins with a visit to Monkey Forest Ubud , a Batik Factory, a Silver Shop at Celuk Village, a Balinese Traditional House at Mas Village. and transfer back to Nusa Dua for evening
Day 4 5:30 AM Transfer to airport for flight to Ambon
Black-crowned Night-Heron  in Bali Indonesia
Black-crowned Night-Heron in Bali Indonesia
Well that is not really true.  Ann was up early in the hotel and wrote this “I have left the perch atop the dining room and went to my original destination.  It is a deck overlooking the rice terraced rice-fields, across the tangled jungle ravine carved by the river. The sky is not yet fully bright and I can hear the full, constant roar of the river over the very loud sound of birds, frogs, chickens and distant village noises. The air is cool, damp, very still.  Two groups of egrets and another pair fly over to reach their favorite morning feeding location.  Although I know there are morning smells the natural lemon grass oil bugs spray on my arms dominates my nasal passages. As I look up to the sky through the palm trees I see there is ever so slight a breeze.
The touring is now done and they are resting for their early morning transfer back to the airport for the flight to Ambon and then on to Sumilaki the next day to meet the boat.
 
And I just heard — they are at the airport…
