Daniel's story

Our guide Qino, or Tino.  He is a local in the village.  He explained the life here in the village.   A nice touch in the yard of the yoga shola Sunset in Bali Trees  The new yoga shola they are building. I am not sure about the sign, but you cannot miss it.  The first people I met at Bali Trees.  A couple of Danes,  a couple for England, Wendy who I met at Bali Lindy exchange.   The cookies we ate for dessert at almost every meal  The Balinese dance lesson.  I had to get the hands and fingers right.  One of the meals.  It was vey healthy.  A fairly low calorie count each day.   Some rice sweets.  Lime and watermelon  It it is a good combination . Mellon on a green plate.  I really enjoyed the color combinations .   Not usually the same food.  Everyday some new creation.  The couple for Denmark  Dinner.   The sunset walk with the first group of people at...

Today we went to the beach for yoga.  Our instructor was helping people achieve balance.  I don't think I am strong enough to hold my entire body weight.  Maybe some day. There are was a nice little warung that made some interesting fried root vegetables. This is the restaurant  some signs Kathy a teacher from Hong Kong who is staying for three weeks. Elizabeth from Lebanon and our teacher  A nice beach shot.

When I saw this swedish restaurant, I knew I had to visit it.   They have salsa on Thursday nights.  U will not be able to come this week but my last week I will attend.  I put this on my things to do.   Although they had swedish meatballs, and sandwiches, I decided to try the Indonesia home made noodles.  The sauce was super spicy.  I am glad I got a smoothie.

    I did a bike ride this afternoon.  I went to where my class will be for the next week.  It is about a 20 minutes walk or a ten minute bike ride.  There are a lot of small narrow streets, paths that are wide enough for one scooter to go through, and a section that even scooters avoid because it is so rocky and dirty, but it is the shortest path.  The hard part is crossing the major highway.  It took me several minutes to get safely across.  I wanted to check out a yoga studio.  I went back towards my hotel. There is a beautiful spa and yoga studio.  The class was at 5 so I went to the beach, stopped at a Swedish restaurant where the fika included Indonesia home made noddle with a really spicy sauce. The teacher at the studio was named Bernie.  She asked if I had ever done yoga before.  I said I had a little, and I don't have any problems with my body, but I have to modify balance positions.  There w...

The Bali airport.  I had a window seat. This is. The tarmac. Interesting terminal  Remember.never to carry so much I would have to check a bag.  Never bring more than a few things.  I wanted to bring dancing clothes, and yoga clothes and u had a long layover in Taiwan so I thought I should check my bag. I was through  customs and arrival in ten minutes I had to wait 45 minutes for it to come.  I learned not to schedule a driver. I am glad I didn't because there are just too many people waiting to pick someinw up.  Taxi, I give you a ride same price.  I go to the grab lounge.  I call a grab.  It says ten minutes.  The driver says to cancel because he is eating. I cancelled it.  I dicided to get my pack out of the carry on and walk out of the airport.  The hotel is less than 3 km and it appears that I can walk along the beach. I start walking and I am constantly told it is impossible to walk.  I just get behind some loc...
