Lets get KT. Monkey Poo 2. Barong & Kris Dance, Sari Amerta, Bali Bird Park, Wood Carving, Pura Taman Ayun, Tegenungan Waterfall, Ogoh-ogoh

So we moved to a new hotel in preparation for KT's arrival. We thought a nicer place would be fitting.  We had Googled a few spots and look at them physically.  I settled on Padma Ubud Retreat as they had a really cute dog.  https://padma-ubud-retreat.business.site/
Michelle and I stayed there for a few nights and extended our Scooter rental so KT could check it out.  Mertha our guide was kind enough to drive us to the Denpasar Airport at 7:30 PM.  KT arrived around 10:45 PM and we  were to excited to sleep.  We talked till 1:00 PM in a Denpasar Hotel for 1 night.  Mertha drove us back to Ubud to start an exciting few days.  We booked Mertha for 2 back to back days of tours.  We were literally baked from the heat and information.  KT's Sony is back in the scene and what a difference.  So may things in just a few days

So much beautiful work into each 

Bali Bird Park

This guy had an attitude

We stayed clear

They park tame birds on you and take pics

Luckily we could take our own

This guy had a big grip

Mertha having fun

Feeding time for the Lory's

We held a piece of apple

It was fun

Holy moly it was hot

The wood carving place

Wood carvers work here for 8 hours a day

Behind them is a huge collection of carvings.

It's overwhelming the selection.

Tegenungan Waterfall

A long drive for a single shot

Had it been earlier we would have walked down crazy steps to swim

It's a crazy hike back up undoing any cooling effect of the swim

Let's go for a hike

Note I'm carrying munchies and lots of water

It rained like crazy the night before

So much this water track was pretty saturated

Let's goto the Rice Terraces (again)

Nice shots KT
