China, Hong Kong & Bali Trip – A Day Trip To Kintamani & Besakih, Bali, 7 December 1993

7th Dec – Day tour to Kintemani & Besakih – just we two. Fortunately Janie feels better today! Stopped off to see Barong & Kris dances on the way – also stopped Celuk village (Gold & Silver)…

Janie, feeling better, took an enormous number of photographs on this day. I took a good few myself. So this day’s write up will be mostly illustrated. We clearly looked at some other crafts at that juncture, not just silverware – e.g. the napkin holders (top photo) and wood carvings:

I do remember us both really enjoying this day and realising that we really liked to tour independently – i.e. with our own private guide when going to places where we needed a guide – or even without a guide if we didn’t really need one.

…then on to Kintemani (Mountain & view of Lake Basur) – lunch there…

…then on to Besakih temples…

Finally stopped in Sanur Market for some shopping and then home.

Janie had used up all of her film by the time we went shopping at the end of the day, so there are no photos from that market. But we did take pictures of us with our lovely sweet guide, Ayu, before leaving the temple compex:

All the photos we took on that day – by which I mean all 82 photos – can be seen in raw form in the Flickr album below:
