The gardens of our Balinese villa are so gorgeous, we decided to devote a whole photo gallery to them instead of including them in our ‘Home Away from Home in…’ post as we usually would.
The location is so beautiful and our Balinese villa gardens so tranquil that even when we had to work it was a joy to sit at the dining table on the veranda and take in the beauty of our surroundings as we listened to the wind, the birds, and the other animals around us.
At times we could hear the sound of workers chatting in the rice paddies, and the hollow tins of their mechanical ‘scarecrow’ devices rattling in the wind. At other times, especially at night, we would hear the haunting sound of singing and drums from ceremonies at the nearby temples carried on the breeze of the windy season, or ‘kite season’ as the locals call it. Magic.

Wow! I want to move there right now! Balinese gardens are so incredibly beautiful and full of energies. I agree with your choice to devote one post just to the garden. What a pleasure to see your shots. They remind me of my time in Bali and the night I spent in the Royal Palace in Ubud, something travellers should definitely try. Balinese culture and Hindu religions permeate every corner of this magic island and a trip to Indonesia is not complete without a fair amount of time dedicated to this very special, unique island. Congratulations once again, on your always excellent and noteworthy choice.
It’s just beautiful. Thank you for sharing your travels here. It’s lengthening my bucket-list exponentially. :)
