I found my other memory card, so here are a few more snaps from my Bali trip from the wedding day! The morning ceremony was particularly funny – the groomsmen got hazed by the girls and ended up in fairy outfits. W and I had such a great time being a part of LC & Eugene’s wedding that took place at the unbelievably gorgeous Semara Uluwatu :)

I thought I’d be blogging from Bali but the internet was a bit of a pain to deal with so I decided to just enjoy the break. Here are a few photos from the first few days we were in Bali. I seem to have misplaced my memory card from the weekend and my friend’s wedding itself; here’s hoping it turns up soon :)
First impressions of Bali – what a fascinating place! Having grown up in South East Asia a lot of the culture and scenery wasn’t overly foreign to me but W found it really exotic. I think we might be back soon. The island is quite religious on a whole, and it was really nice experiencing some of it, and the food of course, and the locals were pretty friendly and I can speak Malay so it was quite easy to communicate and haggle at the markets!
My friend Justin hooked us up with the best possible driver while we were there (thank you!) and that’s how we ended up at the temple in the last picture, in the middle of a celebration that happens once every 50 years, probably the only non-locals there kitted out in traditional gear on loan from the driver’s family.. it was pretty special! More pictures soon x
1. Jatiluwih rice fields 2. Ubud markets 3. At the royal palace with Miss M and Miss D 4. Monkeys at the Monkey Forest in Ubud 5. Some artifacts 6. Beautiful weather 7. At the rice fields – looking like this photo was taken in some cheesy studio 8. Hindu God / epic bone carvings 9. Fighting cocks 10. At Ibu Oka having the babi guling (spiced suckling pig) that Anthony Bourdain famously said was the best he’s ever had – well it was really tasty, but I’m not sure if it’s deserves the “best” title! 11. Local fruits – can you name them all? 12. Miss M 13. Getting ready for dinner (wearing Sass & Bide “Story of Creation” playsuit) 14. A rather elaborate Bloody Mary at Potato Head 15. Potato Head 16. Pretty offerings 17. Colourful idols made of rice 18. At Pura Dalem Tenggaling in Ubud for the Karya Agung celebrations.
