http://ccbali.blogspot.com/2009/06/massage-and-crab-in-singapore.html
Hong Kong Bali Java. Trip to Hong Kong then on to Bali Java looking at Textiles. Trip organized by Santa Fe Weaving Gallery. Wednesday, June 3, 2009. Massage and Crab in Singapore. Arriving in Singapore as you go down the escalator to immigration they are scanning you for fever and Swine Flu. Very efficient, you don’t even have to stop. We cleared customs in record time and headed for our hotel. The food was great. You eat with your fingers and it is messy but fun. Billy is WRONG! June 3, 2009 at 11:35 PM.

We spent the morning visiting Hindu Temples. We first went to the Gunung Kawi Temple (the Elephant Temple). It is a very old temple. It features a cave that is very spooky.

Hong Kong Bali Java. Trip to Hong Kong then on to Bali Java looking at Textiles. Trip organized by Santa Fe Weaving Gallery. Sunday, May 24, 2009. Our hotel room has a feature that I have never seen before, but must be common in Muslim Countries. On the ceiling is a marker pointing the direction to Mecca so that the people staying in the room can perform their prayers in the correct direction. The direction to Mecca is called Kiblat. May 24, 2009 at 11:46 PM. There will be various choices of Bali hotels.

Hong Kong Bali Java. Trip to Hong Kong then on to Bali Java looking at Textiles. Trip organized by Santa Fe Weaving Gallery. Wednesday, May 27, 2009. The ride itself is a delight. The vistas are incredible of rice patties, jungles and mountains. In the background is the mighty volcano which last blew up in 1964 killing many. We wonder how anything gets done here because the people seem to spend half their time takes flowers and offerings to the shrines that are everywhere. We then drove back to the Hotel...

He is a Frenchman who has been living in Bali for 30 years. He designs and sells jewelry. If his house is not in Architectural Digest it should be. The pool area is gorgeous. It is an amazing place to live!

You don’t often see a Pig Head Carry in the states. We returned to the hotel after lunch and packed and rested at our little Villa. We had drinks at th...
