A bike tour around Nusa Dua...

On Saturday morning ViVi and Grandad wanted to go on a bike tour to see more of Nusa Dua... someone needed to stay with Pierce so my sweet hubby volunteered... and I got to go on the bike ride too... it was really neat and a great way to see some of the city...

And if you know ViVi... we of course had to stop and do some shopping... mom was negotiating and I was scratching mossie bites...

Some great scenery along the way... we stopped at the harbor...

The guy in white was our tour guide and he had been doing this (and even made up the tour) for 8 years... he was super nice and a great leader... he even carried around my moms purchase the entire time... so sweet.



We got to see lots of temples... but were not allowed to go in without the correct attire...

here is just one of the trails that we were one... we would have never discovered these paths without our tour guide... we even at one point had to cross a river that was dried up bc of the time of day (low tide) but he said in a couple of hours we could not cross over... so fun...now that is traveling local style...

One of the stops was a turtle farm... where they raise sea turtles and then place them back into the ocean...




They also had other animals to touch and feel... yuck...



They had this snakes mouth taped shut... I was not very confident in the scotch tape remedy but we made it out of there safe and sound.

Here are some shots while I was riding the bike... so they are not great but you get the idea... tour guide in front, ViVi next, then me and then Grandad


We were not really excited about how close the cars were next to us...

Our path back to the hotel... home sweet home...

A great tour, morning and exercise... lets do it again.
