Here's just a snippet of some of my favourite photos from the 300+ that I took of my trip to Bali. Enjoy!
Me, with Menik and Dora, two of the girls from the orphanage that made Lis and I feel right at home.
Some of the beautiful flowers in the grounds of the first hotel we stayed at on our arrival in Bali.
The grounds of the orphanage which has had a major re-vamp thanks to a dedicated gardener amongst the staff.
The view from one of the girls' dormitories.
Idi teaching Lis how to play the Gamelan.
Having fun with the instruments. The Gamelan is usually just for boys.
We watched Gamelan practice three times over the course of the week!
Gamelan Teacher Extraordinaire
My son, Ryan, donated some T Shirts. Here are the four boys who received them. They were asked some trivia questions in order to 'earn' them from the leader of the orphanage. It was all in Indonesian so I didn't understand much of the 'process' but the boys who 'won' were pretty chuffed with their prize!
The guys on the team spent ages in the local hardware store at Negara getting supplies for two of the orphanages. Here's Lis and Komang waiting patiently outside in the heat! We were able to get some 'payback' when we hit the markets a couple of days later in West Bali.
I just love this shot of the pigs in the pen at the orphange. They don't have names because one of them will be Christmas dinner.
Tea Time at the Orphanage
I hope you enjoyed having a browse through the first lot of photos. I had better go and dish tea before I upload another post. Rest assured rice is not on the menu at our place tonight!
