Seminyak

Friday is beach time then we visit the orphanage where Kay will volunteer in July. It's in a edge of rural area on the outskirts of Denpasar. About 50 kids live there from baby to almost adult, and about 10 staff. All are happy and laughing. There's a big open kitchen, 4 bunkrooms, reading room, huge computer/art/ music/teaching room, veg garden, soccer space, play equipment ....
The girls take some kids shopping to a gigantic supermarket, the boys stay and make friends with the help of a bag of lollies.
$200 later we return with piles of fresh food and choco biscuits for a treat. It's sobering to see just how little they all have compared to us, but how happy they all are. Our bags of donated
clothes are handed over and thankfully received. Lots of waves and highfives and goodbyesthen we head home to our luxury hotels- such a contrast.
