One of the most unusual and amazing things we saw during our single day in Bali was a cremation celebration. We were in a small tour group and our private guide arranged for us to stop and make a small donation to the family to join in the "party". Often families save for a quite a while to be able to afford the pomp and circumstance that is required for the final send off of their dearly departed. It was a memorable part of our visit.

I also have a fond memory of the beautiful countryside - the terraced rice patties were such a brilliant green color. And as we passed small streams we saw natives swimming and splashing in the water.

The road side shrines and the temples were also worth seeing.
