Candidasa June 15-22

We love this village by the sea. Lots of relaxing by the pool, good beach for swimming when the tide is out a bit, and magnificent jungle for trekking in. The food - of course - is great, with many small places to choose from as well as bigger ones with some western choices (not for us!) 

We bring Lisa (my 19 year old Balinese friend from John Hardy) with us for the weekend, and she loves the chance to eat burgers, apple pie and ice cream! 

Our favourite Nasi Ikan Laut, rice with fish and all sorts of hot and flavourful sides. 

Local kids give a welcome dance for a great West Australia- based charity, http://www.caroliacharity.com/

Trekking

No Japanese cow (tractor) used here, it's too steep, inaccessible and expensive.
