21st & 22nd March - Bali
Arrived in Bali on 21st March after long flight from London via Hong Kong. Checked into the Mulia Resort Hotel.
Following day we did an afternoon excursion.

| Mulia was huge! But one of the best 'resort' hotel complexes we have visited. More pools than we could count! The food was v good too. We had a (largely) seafood buffet one night for 'just' £25 a head. It was superb and I overdosed on crab! |
|
| The rooms were gigantic too. Most impressed with the loos which did everything (Don't ask...) Elizabeth wants one at home now! |

22nd March First stop was at the Batik Factory. |
|
|
| Then onto a typical village compound at Singapudu. Each family - young and old - lived together and cared for one another. Although basic, it had great charm. I wish our society was more like this. |

|
| As ever, the kids were immaculately dressed in their school uniforms. |

|
| The woodcarvers at Kemenuh. |
