From left, dining at home, out after (elusive) dolphins, and in Candi Dasa where we resolved to always eat on the water-front. This lunch was at Ida's.

Bear the entrance to Tirta Gangga Water Place, Mary and Chonki negitiating the stepping stones, and at a restaurant in Ubud.  You may think we were always eating - but really it is just when I remembered I had a camera.

Read on for more photos.

Flame Thrower at Gapura Hotel
Flame Thrower at Gapura Hotel
 

Images from Sulawesi

We went to South Sulawesi for a week, and arrived in Makassar (formerly Ujung Pandang) which is the capital on the west coast.  On our last night we took a small group to a restaurant that is over the water on a pier at the Gapura Hotel.  Part of the entertainment was provided by a group of fire dancers, and here we see one of them throwing a huge flame from his mouth. 

Our next stop was the city on Bone on the east coast.  Bajoe is the local port  a few kilometres from the town centre.  It is busy with lots of boats tied up, lots of trucks on the pier as well as stalls to sell fish.  Here you see long boats with plenty of loading/unloading activity, and further back is the large ferry that crosses to South East Sulawesi every night.

Pare Pare is the second biggest city in South Sulawesi.  It is the thrid city we visited and is back on the west coast but further north than Makassar. From our hotel on the water, we could see across the water to a settlement with a mosque a few Km away.  We drove there to take a look - and this is the mosque.

Read on to see lots more photos from these 3 cities.

Bedugul Market
Bedugul Market
 

A Police Encounter

The Google Earth image shows Bedugul Market, the yellow line the route through the carpark, the grey rectangle near the exit is a Honda CRV parked inconveniently in the exit, and the blue rectangle is us as we creep around them watching to see that our back right corner does not contact their left back corner, and at the same time watching motorbikes near our front left corner.  We succeeded and left.

They then followed us, waved us over and began to tell us we scratched their car.  I knew we had not, felt it a waste of time and drove on - probably this was a mistake.

In Singaraja, police waved us over, looked for scratches, there were many phonecalls, we went to their post, the Honda arrived, the Honda people searched in vain for scratches, much talking, more phonecalls, then finally it was all over with no trouble, no request forpayments, or anything.
