Tuesday, March 17th - Volcanoes and Beaches


Breakfast buffet at hotel.

Lunch was at a lakeview retaurant by the (name tbc) two volcanoes in the middle/east of the island. Amazing view. Average indonesian fare. We had some balinesian coffee and hot cholate at a spice farm. The spices were over priced and a ripoff. Do not buy those things out side a open market.
We had a stop at a spice farm. We some funky orange fruit that looked like Barbapapas and had some balinese coffee and chocolate. Do no buy coffee or spices in these little tourist traps. You will pay 10x what you will in the market stalls.

Dinner was in Jimbaran on the beach with the wedding party. We ordered our fish or shellfish at the monger counter, they grill it the way we want and bring it to our table on the beach. Overpriced. Easily the most expensive meal we had. The food was very good but we had a better grill in Nusa Dua and Benoa for a fifth of the price. You are paying for the area... west coast.
