We had a beautifully leisurely day with a Christmas Lunch in one of the restaurants onboard and later in the evening we had a tour booked to a local village for dinner and show. The Christmas lunch was disappointing as they tend to put all the effort into the dinner that we were not onboard to enjoy. However we did enjoy roast ham and vegetables followed by rum and raisin ice-cream with chocolate coated bananas so it wasn't all bad....
The show we went to was held at the Bali Bird Park. It was a truly lovely place with some birds caged but many more roaming around free to come and go. Most stay.
The buffet dinner was a typical Indonesian affair with the usual spicy food that we are enjoying more and more. Dessert was fresh fruit and sticky rice that I absolutely adore, so I was well sated.
The half hour show was a tribal dance about a young princess abducted by the evil socceror and her eventual saving by the handsome prince.
After the show we then watched a fire dance where a large fire is built and then one of the men, dressed in costume, dances, sits, plays with and even eats the fire. He must be in some sort of trance because to end the dance two men tackle him to the ground to get him away from the fire. It was quite awesome and at the same time terrifying to watch.
We have two days in Bali and we are looking forward to another tour tomorrow to Ubud.
Oh, this was our Christmas present from Regent.....
