Day 3: Bali Arrival You will arrive in Bali (Denpasar) where your guide will meet you and transfer you to your beach resort hotel where you can rest up from your journey.

Day 4: Half Day Garuda Wisnu Kencana and Uluwatu Temple. This morning you will have some free time to enjoy the local beaches, visit the local shops or even just hang around your hotel. This afternoon you will visit the Garuda Wisnu Kencana and the cultural park. Then we will take you to the Uluwatu Temple, which is an architectural marvel situated on the edge of a steep 300 foot rock facing the ocean. This temple has some of the most exquisite architecture in Bali and was first built in the eleventh century.

There are numerous monkeys on the walkway to the temple, who are delighted to receive food from you. You shouldn’t have anything loose on your clothing or body, such as earrings, pens and glass-cases and you should hold your camera bags tightly. These mischievous monkeys will quickly snatch them and will only give them back for a ransom (typically peanuts and bananas). Then you will proceed to the temple. This is a small and simple temple, but it is a good introduction to the style and function of the Hindu temples on Bali.

Afterwards you can enjoy the sunset while watching the performance of Kechak Dance, which presents the Mahayana story with actors-dancers, beautiful costumes and accompanied totally by the Kechak dancers-singers (no gamelan orchestra). Afterwards we will take you to dinner at a seafood restaurant with tables on the beach. Though not fancy, the food and ambience are delightful. Then we will drive back to the hotel where the rest of the evening is at your own leisure.

Note: Bali is famous for their massages and spa treatments. Any day or night you have the option of utilizing these services. The hotel services are more expensive than the independent businesses. If you want to add a specific time for the group to receive a massage outside of the hotel, we can arrange this.

This is also a great place to better understand the relationship between European and Balinese artists: Agung Rai Museum of Art (ARMA). This delightful museum not only has excellent art pieces from Balinese and European artists but also many other cultural artifacts of Balinese culture.

Day 11: Ubud – Nusa Dua. You will leave early in the morning to see an excellent Barong Dance. This is the traditional Balinese Hindu dance of the battle between Good and Evil, the Barong and Rhanga. This dance also involves several other characters and is the main dance which in its purest religious form leads to its participants going into trances.

In the 11th century it was destroyed by an earthquake and forgotten about. In the early 1900’s it was rediscovered and put back together with the original pieces. It is an incredible work of art and the intricate details in the stone carving are quite remarkable. Certain areas are restricted because of some damage from a recent earthquake.

Day 15: Yogyakarta. Today you will visit Borobodur. This Buddhist temple has a similar story to that of Prambanan. It was also constructed in the 9th Century (about 20-40 years before the Prambanan), and was also destroyed by an earthquake and put back together. Here you can experience the excitement of being able to walk throughout the area. You can read the story of Buddha in the picture story in the relief along the walls. If you would like there is a very simple hotel in the park that you can stay in. You can eat breakfast with a view of the temple.
