A huge array of tropical fruit for sale - once you get out of the major resorts everything is very cheap in Bali, even
when the prices are immediately doubled for tourists. It did become quite irritating to find everyone you met trying
to fleece you for as much money as they could, but then, they have to make a living and tourism is the mainstay of
the local economy. |
Also taken at Kintamani... across the lake from the volcano lay another large mountain. While we were there storm
clouds drew in and we were treated to a proper tropical cloudburst with torrents of water running down the roadside. |
Ten miles from Ubud, on the way home. The clouds and rain softened the colours of the landscape, and allowed some
great pictures of the rice terraces - Vanessa took this one. |

A friendly shopkeeper let me shelter from the rain while I took this picture, then demanded that I buy two boxes of chopsticks
for 60,000 rupiah! |
As I was taking pictures of the rice paddies, this old chap came up with his baskets and posed for a picture with Wyan.
We had to pay him of course, but there ain't no such thing as a free lunch! |
Finally, a view across a valley six miles north of Ubud. |
