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.
