Nail art

My first try!

Home again!

Landing comfortably in a cold but very green Sweden.
Met some new funny faces at my mothers

Some old ones had grown even more...

And we picked mushrooms, kantareller, in December!

Indonesian funeral

We where very lucky because a wealthy family held big funeral in Ubud just before we left. In Bali a funeral is not supposed to be sad but full of festivity and people having fun. First they carried two big statues and also the caskets through the city to the sound of musicians playing and a lot of people had come to watch the show.

After that it was time for burning! They put the corpses in the statues and then they start to burn them. They use a special gas powered tool to make it very hot and cremate the bodies. They also burn all the other decorations and things that they carried through the city

Indonesian wedding

We got a surprise on our way to dinner tonight! A wedding was happening nearby and they put up an orchestra in the street and there was a lot of dancing going on in the traditional Indonesian style.

Kintamani Volcano and Water temple

We packed up and moved to Ubud and from there we took a tour to Kintamani Volcano. We went really early in the morning to see the sunset.

Afterwards we where pretty tired but we still had a lot more to see! First we went to a farm where they make the most expensive coffee in the world. Luwak coffee, that is eaten by the Luwakk animal and then processed, coming out the other way and then cleaned and roasted and sold for $100-$600 a pound according to Wikipedia.

We also visited the water temple that is one of the biggest temples in Bali

And the smaller temple of Kungung Kawi
