Waters

The Indian ocean is a 2 minute walk from our hotel in Bali. You walk along the beach for 10 minutes to get to the busier part where the vendors, restaurants, and surfing school are. We sat at a restaurant and watched the waves roll in and surfers trying to conquer the water.


The Man tried to surf.


Put on a surfing shirt, get a longer board, and The Man got up.



Looking down at Uluwata Beach. There were no surfers at the beach that day, just monkeys and hawkers.



Our catamaran for dolphin watching.


A sea of catamarans.


And there they are, the elusive and camera-shy dolphins.



We walked down this path, through the jungle to get to the Munduk Fall.


On the way in, we met forest dwellers. Their houses are tucked in the forest, off the path. They grow their own food as well as harvest from nature's bounty in the forest.



Because people live in the forest near the waterfall, the forest is well-maintained.


Through the foliage and rocks, we come to the waterfall.


I am ankle deep (yellow pants) in the pool where the water collects. The pool leads to a stream that runs through the forest.


Two views of the hot springs bath we visited. The water is warmed by the nearby volcano it passes.



Of course there is an altar at the hot springs.


The Twin Falls, the second waterfall we visited. One of the twins comes from a hot spring.


The current was so strong, I could not get closer to the bottom of the falls by swimming. Maybe a stronger swimmer could have done it.
