We have been doing a lot of running around and the family is ready for relaxation. We have a casual morning then head to Blue Point for the rest of the day. This, of course, includes a Balinese massage. For a full hour massage, they pay approximately $38USD. We stay for the sunset and embrace the beauty of our surroundings.
Monday is all about bargain shopping. Their vacation is coming to a close and they can’t go home empty handed. Mom buys a fabulous small piece of artwork at the open market. She pays all of $5USD. I couldn’t believe it. Unfortunately, I don’t have a picture to share. But it was definitely under priced and painted by a very talented artist. Chris and Nancy make their purchases and come back happy campers. The market they went to is all about negotiation. They set a price and you decide what you want to pay. If you can walk away, more than likely you will get the item at your price. That evening we head over to the Uluwatu Temple to watch the Kecak and Fire dance. Kecak is the most unique Balinese dance which is not accompanied by any orchestra but by a choir of seventy men . This old ritual dance is called Sanghyang or Trance dance. These seventy men chanted for a solid hour. It was fascinating.
