Today it's Walterine reporting: We got a driver who showed us around Central Bali, where we visited Hindu temples of different kinds, an invisible volcano, a coffee plantation, and the famous rice terraces.

At the temples one has to observe certain rules. The most important one is to wear a sarong. This is to make sure that your knees are covered. Maybe Shiva or Vishnu don't like kneecaps.

All the temples are still in use meaning people do offerings and pray. But one temple was more frequented than the others because there you could clean yourself in holy water that comes from the depths of the volcanic earth and is crystal clear.

What was most interesting for me - and certainly a must-see for Bali - was the visit of a coffee plantation where we were taught about the different kinds of coffee beans and of course about the Luwak. At the end of the tour they gave us different kinds of coffees (and teas) to taste which the kids also tried and even liked.

Luckily we had already experienced various volcanos on Java, so were weren't much disappointed that this one on Bali hid itself in very thick grey clouds.

What's a bit disturbing here in Bali is that the weather is rather unpredictable. Since we arrived we've  had some rain almost every day. And it's all kinds of rain: sometimes just some drizzle or as tonight it poured heavily, which felt a little like home. The temperature remains the same though.

The whole island is a very wet place indeed, especially in the rice terraces. But it's also green with the many palm trees and other fruit plants. They even try to manage their garbage with organic and non-organic bins.

When we're not out and about we relax with massages and swimming in the pool. Jana has become a regular customer at one of the spas whereas Thadde made friends with an English girl at the pool.
