| GitGit Waterfall Bali, Indonesia |
Today the Adventures Abroad itinerary was:
This morning we have an early boat trip to the reef where we hope to see the dolphins that frequent the area. Even if the dolphins don't show, the sunrise can be quite spectacular.
After breakfast back at the hotel, we head for the Gitgit Falls where a 15-minute walk takes us to a 60 m / 197 ft waterfall. We will also check out the spices and fruits at Lake Bratan market, making our way back toward Lovina with a visit at the Buddhist Monastery, Brahma Arama Vihara. It is a spectacular looking place, and a bit out of place in Hindu Bali. It is the most important Buddhist monastery in Bali and is complete with golden Buddha statues and a pristine natural setting. Strictly speaking the monastery is not a tourist site but accepts respectful visitors.
We return to Lovina late in the afternoon.
Overnight in Lovina. Meal plan: Breakfast and dinner.

Another amazing sight. I know many cultures have this type of movement of goods, but it is just so amazing.

This store was selling spices. Apparently the biggest item here was supposed to be saffron. I didn't think that saffron was found in Bali. I did hear a rumor that it could also be "dyed sawdust". Does anyone know?

Seriously, aren't they gorgeous? I know they aren't the highest, widest, most amazing waterfalls you've ever seen. But the whole walk to them was gorgeous and the area is quite beautiful.
