Bali August 2009 - Part 1

katherine and i spent 2 1/2 weeks in bali to celebrate our 25th wedding anniv. we were joined by chris and his wife judy. chris attended our 'first' wedding so it was special having them there (thanks guys!).

we stayed in 4 areas of bali -- i wanted to get a good tour of the country after visiting it once before but only seeing the southern region. we started in Ubud, then went up to the northern coast in Lovina Beach, the eastern tip on the island in Amed and ended up in the south-eastern coast town of Candidasa (pronounced 'chandi dasa').

we visited museums, art galleries, temples, saw dances, did some snorkeling, ate great food, got a few massages and generally toured around -- we had a fantastic time! Bali is physically beautiful and dense with culture... it's the bali vibe.

the photos are ordered by date and are named to give some info about them (you need to click on the shot to see that info)...

vava'u


We took this trip between 10-25 May 2009 - spent most of the time in the Tongan Vava'u (va-VA-ooo) island group... beautiful temps each day - 25-29 C range (most days of the year!). we went to celebrate kath's getting her PHD (almost there).

NOTE - these pix should be in chronological order --- the title of each picture indicates where the picture was taken (you need to select the photo and the description pops up in the window title bar).
