Share what’s interesting to youDear Friends, We arrived in Bali last night, and it is Friday morning here. I am about to go grab coffee and get on the bus to go visit Princess Mirah’s Batik Factory! We all got here fine, got to our beautiful hotel the Melia Spa and Resort which is a huge property right on the water.
We had a casual dinner next to the waves, listening to a live guitar/singing band. The first song they played was “Girl from Ipanema” which is my absolute alltime favorite travel song! In fact I was listening to that song on my iPhone on the Hong Kong to Denpasar leg, to get me in the “vacation” mood. Imagine my delight when the band started their set with this tune! Woo hoo!
Pictures posted tonight…off to the races….
Hi Luana,
It must be very special to be there with the group. How long were you on the airplane?
I will follow you on your (travel)blog to see Indonesia through your eyes. I only know the stories my mum told me when I was a little girl (I’am 1/4 Javanese). After the war she and her family came to the Netherlands and stayed. Only some of them went back in the seventies. So what I heard is from an Indonesia in the fourties and seventies. I’m curious how you will experiance this country and Bali today and of course your quilting findings.
And be careful with eating things from the mobile warungs on the streets, only eat it when you’ve seen it put raw on the bbq/hibachi and than straight to you from the bbq/hibachi. Selamat makan 🙂
Wishing you lots of fun together,
