Exploring Bali July 2012

[terry57]

I've just returned from a glorious 6 weeks playing around in Bali. As per usual much of it was spent on the Beach so I'll kick it off with a few random scenes. Enjoy.

Beach soccer is all the rage in the later afternoon.

The lads get into it.

Old dude just hanging out.

Getting married on the beach is popular and supplies some nice eye candy for the punters.

[terry57]

Flying kites is all the go and in a later thread I'll present the annual Bali kite festival where massive kites soar.

[terry57]

These young tourists didn't mind having a bit of fun and this is another reason to enjoy the beach. Great vibes abound.

Another good travel thread coming from Terry, I sure do wish our family gets back again soon.

[terry57]

Where I stay there are a few bars that crank up for the sunset. Live music everywhere and cheap beers. Great stuff.

[terry57]

This is my drink of choice. A boutique brewery is brewing this Dark Wheat beer. Bloody lovely stuff and cheap at a buck and a quarter.

[terry57]

Have a really nice garden around my hotel full of flowering water lilies.

Good shots Terry. And there appear to be native bees in Bali.

I like the look of that beer...

[kingwilly]

That beer is a pretty good one. We can get it here too in the supermarkets.

A couple of mates sitting around shooting the shit drinking a few beers while his kid plays in the sand. Dam nice way to pass a few hours.

These locals rent surfboards and beach chairs. In the arvo they crank out the chess and would give you a run for your money. Plenty of time to perfect there skills also multi lingual having perfected many languages. Smart buggers these guys.

Good on ya Terry. Keep it up.

Local business men having a cool lemonade on the beach.

Another one of the local bars on the Beach where I stay. The family atmosphere is brilliant as there is usually zero trouble with everyone one just chilling out and enjoying themselves.

[terry57]

This girl was playing in a event put on by one of the local hotels as a reward for there work. An all girl team in front of my favorite watering hole. 2 guys crank out some awesome tunes each arvo while I exercise my eyes. Don't get much better.

[terry57]

It all happens on this beach and this arvo the locals where cranking up a bit of Hindu worshiping as they like to do on a very regular basis. Quite amusing really as all of a sudden out of the blue one will hear the music firing up and a flash mob of Balinese rock up to do there thing. The klu klux clan would love it.

[terry57]

That duck might be enjoying the show at the moment but he's heading for a date with the great goose in the sky. Those chickens are shitting bricks as well.

Beautiful pics.

Am I the only one who doesn't know WTF arvo means?
