CLAUDIA & CARSTEN'S WORLD EXPEDITION

First western dinner in a long time

By the time we left India, it was the middle of the monsoon season in Asia, so it was raining everywhere and Indonesia and Philippines were the only dry places at that time. So we decided to fly from Kolkata to Bali. We had a great and relaxing week and went back into the "western" lifestyle. Not because Bali is western, but because it is touristic and full of western restaurants. We were finally able to eat beef again after being forced into a vegetarian diet during our two months in India.

Balinese Men

Seminyak Beach

Padang Padang Beach

This is the beach were Julia Roberts swims in "Eat, Prey, Love". It was full of people when we were there, so not very romantic.

Uluwatu Temple

Kecak Dance in Uluwatu

Kecak is a form of Balinese dance and music drama that was developed in the 1930s in Bali. There are no instruments, all the sounds are made by a choir of 70 men.
