This is what a tropical paradise
looks like when you wake up at 6 AM.
|
Here's the view a few hours later.
Notice the hash marks in the palm
tree. That's so people can climb the
tree easily to get the coconuts.
|
|
This is the walk down to the
tropical river in the gorge near the
spa.
|
|
This is the beautiful river that ran
through the gorge at the base of the
spa.

tropical river in Bali.

Not a bad place to get a massage!
You can hear the river below, while
you're relaxing.

In a tropical paradise, even the
spiders are beautiful! This variety
is not poisonous.
|
|
If you click on the image to get a
close up, you'll see that even the
spiders come with orbs!

This is a typical jungle hillside,
perhaps a bit more lush than some.
|
|
You may have to click on the image
to see the school of dolphin
swimming by. There were several
schools with 10-14 dolphin in each
group.
|
|
Swimming with the dolphin was lots
of fun.
They kept sticking their noses under
my butt and carry me along for a
ride.
|
|
This is the famous Git Git
Waterfall.

|
Another shot of the Git Git
Waterfall. There are tons of
spectacular orbs in this picture.
Click here to watch the Git Git Waterfall Orb. It
materializes while I'm filming!

Here are some beautiful rice fields.
They are terraced to allow for
flooding of the crops.
|
|
Notice the black blobs hanging from
the trees, right in the center of
this image. These are fruit bats,
waiting for nightfall.
|
|
It's now dusk and the bats are
starting to fly around.
|
|
This is what a fruit bat looks like
up close.
|
|
This is the view of the coral reef
from above.
|
|
This is a hotel where we ate lunch.
I love pools that seem to drop off
into the ocean.
|
|
You'll need to click on this image
to see the huge black bee
pollinating the flower.
