In Reply to: What's Your Favourite Day-Trip? posted by PhantomFisho on Friday, 3. February 2006 at 07:28 Bali Time:
would have to be spending the day in my driver Leroys village.
The day started off with a trip out to the local market early in the morning to buy supplies for a family feast prepared and cooked in Leroys home. At the market we bought a chicken, duck and pig to be cooked the traditional way along with vegetables,rice etc... to be used in the cooking preperation.
Then late morning spent preparing for the feast. We were shown every down to how they sacrifice the animals. After the preperation there is the option of a short walk/drive to a waterfall, a look through leroys families would carving area or art museum.
Later on the dinner is prepared to be eating and a feast is had.
Also Leroys daughter (aged 5) got together with her friends from dancing class and put on a little show of balinese taditional dances for us.
It was a great day had by everyone!
