The rally was anchored outside the resort at Palau Bali. It is the quieter side of the island. There was beautiful weather when we were there, close shops, and the food at the resort was terrific. It was a beautiful anchorage, and we were thankful to be in such a nice place.We enjoyed a day trip to Sudaji Village; we received a wonderful welcome on arrival and enjoyed a guided tour through the village to the guest houses and rice fields. Sapigeumbungan (ox) are still used to plough the rice fields. A delicious lunch and dancing just ‘topped off the day’. We visited Gobleg to view the Twin Lakes, a beautiful spot with great views. I visited Candikuning; the market offers a captivating insight into the culture of this island. You will find various fruits, vegetables, spices, and exotic flowering plants, including orchids and roses. Taste a pomelo or a yellow passion fruit, while the smelly durian is something for the brave. Ubud, in the uplands of Bali, Indonesia, is known for its traditional crafts and dance. The surrounding Ubud District’s rainforest and terraced rice paddies, dotted with Hindu temples and shrines, are among Bali’s most famous landscapes. Ancient holy sites include the intricately carved Goa Gajah (“Elephant Cave”) and Gunung Kawi, with rock-cut shrines.
Mark and their local guide ascend to a scenic vantage point, overlooking the Indonesian mountains and dense forests that cradle Gobleg Twin Lakes Lakes, Gobleg Rante and Gobleg Mungkur, are said to have formed from the gods’ tears. Locals believe the lakes are sacred, with spirits of the gods residing there. A curious girl named Sari embarks on a journey and, guided by nature’s whispers, discovers the lakes’ mystical energy. Gobleg Rante’s crystal-clear waters fill her with wisdom, while Gobleg Mungkur’s emerald depths connect her with ancient spirits. Sari returns to her village, sharing tales of the lakes’ enchantment, and the legend endures, attracting travelers seeking the lakes’ divine magic.
