Munduk, Waterfall

Got a ride from the mountain/lake town of Bedugul to the beaches of Lovina. Passes above Lake Tamblingan, and came to a coffee plantation at the top of the hill, offering an amazing view looking off toward Bali Barat, the enormous national park that takes up most of the western part of the island.


Stopped next at a waterfall near Munduk.



Gusti, my driver/guide. He hopes to get a job on a cruise ship sailing out of Miami. I told him what I know of the industry, which isn't much. We stopped on the way into the waterfall to say hi to a friend of his. He wasn't there, but his mother was. She offered me some fruit, and we spoke for a while as she swept the yard. She's fallen out of a tree three times, and injured her back, and is now limited to doing work around the house. I asked her what she would wish for if she could have any wish granted, and her answer was simple: to be able to do what she does, to tidy up around the place and cook. We left and headed for a hot spring. On the way Gusti and I got into an in-depth examination of the word "would" and all of its various uses... Really nice guy...



Tugu/shrine to the spirits of the waterfall...
