Saturday - 5th June - Denpasar

Slept in pretty late, I think I got up around 10am or so. Had fruit for breakfast (melon, grapes, and apple).

We then went to Denpasar market. We were only there for 1 hr which confused me a bit as I thought we were going for the whole day, but at least now I know what to expect if I decide to go later on my own or with someone else. Ama's advice was to not point at anything, and to only pay 30% of what they ask (not at the bit we went to which was more for wholesalers).

I bought 4 Lombok masks (Balinese masks are scary, Lombok masks are decorative and nice). I also bought some incence gift packs. All up, it costed around AUD $25.

We went across to the smelly food market. They are in need of some basic hygiene education and some refrigeration or ice. It was putrid.
Ama bought some shrimp - he can eat 'that' by himself :)

About 12:30 we went to Marcus's place. He had his other daughter there who was 3 - although looks about 5 to me. She is sooooo adorable - a very beautiful and sweet child.

Ama and Ika cooked our lunch - Chilli Con Carne. And Joni went and got some boiled rice to eat with it.
We sat down and ate while Marcus and Ama swapped cheeky insults to each other - they are very funny and bounce off each other.

After lunch, we played Uno in the heat for hours. They are a bunch of sneaky cheaters :)

Then I got on the back of Joni's bike and we rode back to Ama's. Ama walked.
