Indonesia Trip 2019: Bali Day Two! (July 23rd)

The day started with a gorgeous sunrise overlooking rice paddies and a fog slowly dissipating from the treetops.

After we ate breakfast and packed up, we headed out...to eat...again. That was a bit of poor planning on our part, but the food in Indonesia is delicious, so we wanted to try as much as we could. Again, I don't remember where we ate, but we ate some good duck.

We then went to see the GWK/Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park. This is a huge statue. You can see it from the moment you land in the airport, and according to our tour guide, from base to top, it's even taller than the Statue of Liberty. There were a lot of cool statues along the way, and we got a bunch of cool photos. 


The Garuda is on the National Emblem of Indonesia, and just so happens to be an airline as well.

From there, we went to see a Kecak dance. A very cool cultural dance. When we watched it, there was a point when they put bundles of hay in a circle and brought out a torch. When I saw it, I thought, "they're no going to do it, are they?" They did it. They set it on fire. The area was jammed pack too, so get there early!

After this, we went to eat some food on the beach, which was very cool. It was near the airport as well, so while our feet were in the sand, and food was in our hands, airplanes flew overhead.
