Bali...part 2

Our travel agent had hired Panoramic Tours to show us the treasures of Bali

Our Guide was Wayan(first born) Sudiana


He was a fabulous host as was our driver, Diasa amd Rudi,who kept us hydrated and safe!

We hit the ground running....



We toured a batik store

These are a few of the stamps used in the process




This reminded me of one of our guild members....

she sews on a big Juki


The colors were fabulous.

Such eye candy but this was fabric for clothing 
so
 we were still on the hunt for quilting cotton



Tressa and Nicole Whitman and Aimee Brokenshire looked beautiful 
in their new sarongs!


A few of the girls had their clothes they were wearing batiked with wax

It was a great souvenir!



The weather was super hot and humid.

If Charlene took off her sweater we all knew we were going to melt into to the pavement
as
she is never hot but she was plenty warm on this trip!

I went with the "Coke a Day" theory and I did not have any tummy trouble

It was a cheap remedy at 40,000 Rupiah or 4$!! 


We saw lots of temples including the famous Temple on the Lake


It was an important Hindu celebration while we were there

It was like our Christmas

There was decoration  everywhere!.


Many women carried high stacks of offerings to the temples


There were celebrations in the streets from temple to temple


Most of Bali is Hindi
 but
 there are a few Muslim communities and Mosques

They co-exist peacefully


Everything in Bali is very ornate  


The talents of the carvers,weavers,stone masons is like nothing I have ever seen  

We were in awe no matter where we looked!!

Christa

ps. catching on zzz

  2. I can't wait to see your food and fabric photos. On Instagram I noticed the batik with sled dogs. Too funny if it's made in Bali.
