The Ogoh-ogoh parade was not cancelled last year in Kuta.... it still went ahead. All the surrounding local village areas still contributed their wonderful monsters and it was still spectacular with quite a few being burnt on the beach after the ceremony.... and we got some great pics.
Think only the outlying villages were banned due to the upcoming Gov elections.
Looking forward to experiencing our 6th Nyepi Day at the Masa Inn in March.
Cheers! Petra
