Feeding the Rino

Feeding the Rino

Bali Vacation Days 2-4

Once we got the touristy stuff out of the way on day 1, we stayed at the hotel the rest of the week and just enjoyed the pool and beach. We made an occasional excursion shopping.

Getting braids.

What the Richards' do best.

Vacation in Bali Day 1

Day 1 in Bali we hired a driver service to take us to see a couple sites around the Island. After a quick stop at the Carrefour (like a Walmart), we started first for lunch at Tepi Sawah for a traditional Balinese lunch (we actually ate pizza and club sandwiches).





Next stop was the Gunung Kawi temple and rice fields in Tampaksiring.



On the way to the Tirtha Empul Temple we drove through small villages to see the rice terraces. It's a stepped hill that floods rice from top to bottom.

Next temple was Tirtha Empul Temple


And the highlight of the day, the Monkey Forest of Ubud. Theresa cried like a little girl as these moneys roamed about the forest. They would even jump on your back if they thought you would feed them.



We finished the day with a dinner performance at the hotel. The dance performance was a traditional Balinese Legong dance.

Our favorate Mexican resteurant walking distance from home. It's actually pretty good (and take away margaritas!)

Madeline has become a fish swimming nearly every day I am home. She started this week one on one swim lessons from Ms. Liz, an expat British lady who lives in our complex.
