A BATIK MUSEUM IN A SHOPPING MALL?

We visited a the Kain Batik Museum located in a shopping mall.  The antique textiles were interesting, but I think speaking for myself, I am done with looking at textiles. Unless it is something to quilt with, I just can't get enthused.  This picture was from the website of the Kain Museum as pictures were not allowed when inside.

We have seen many incredible, intricate and amazing garments, materials and fibres and how they are made. What a great journey. The heat and humidity have beat me up a little and the food well, the Indonesian or Balinese food has its challenges for me. In Sanur, it has been easier to find western food as this is a beach resort area which draws many tourists from many different countries. 

After visiting the Kain Batik Museum we were herded onto the bus again to go to the Discovery Mall.  Not exactly sure why we needed to go to a western type mall, people wandered around and grabbed a bite to eat and then after a couple of hours we were on the bus and on our way back to the hotel.  Tomorrow we aren't in a hurry to get going.  Being our last day in Bali with our complete group, we are going to have dinner on the beach in Jimbaran Bay. So we have time to sit and enjoy the resort or whatever

The resort, Puri Santrian is on the Indian Ocean, and the views from the beach area are lovely indeed.  Many people are parasailing and it is a wonder all the lines don't get tangled, but they are a joy to watch as they skim across the water at great speed while the wind fills the sail.  Often they are airborne and then a few aerobatics are performed.  Brave souls indeed - and yes lovely to watch from the shore.

So a quiet evening with dinner on our own at one of the local restaurants and then back to our room for another early night.  Don't mind the early nights - after dealing with the heat and humidity all day, we are often ready for a shower and early bed.
