Entries about waterfalls

Today we were waiting for Teo to go to the dentist as he felt a cavity ... it is funny as it seems we are trying dentists in all the countries we have been to!!!

We were lucky enough to find a dentist to take us within a week but I presume that was because of how much we got charged.... a mere $200 for a filling ... not bad going I think I might just become a dentist in the USA!!!!

No at least we got Teo's tooth fixed and we have insurance so no worries at all... plus they give you a voucher for Taco Bell (a mexican fast food place ).. so we went to get soft tacos for the kids and some cinnamon rolls ....

Teo looked funny as half his face was paralysed by the anaesthetic and I thought we could keep that photos as a record...

We then decided to go for a walk and went to the local waterfalls in the Bella Vista area ... they were lovely and the walk was very good with information on trees and nature as we went along... the kids did not enjoy the walking under the rain so much but we managed to see some nice bird (I forgot the name!!!).... and the waterfalls were nice too...

The trees are starting to bloom and they are lovely and makes you feel like it is spring and it is lovely!

This is a great little place off the road between Lovina and Amed.

The tallest waterfalls in Bali where you can have a shower under (if you feel strong enough) …The drive there is a little scary as the roads are narrow and very very very bendy…

Once parked you need to pay an entrance fee of about 10000 and then you will need to walk about 15 mins before getting to the waterfalls..

The waterfalls are indeed tall and actually standing under them is no as easy as it seems… The guide gave us a tour of the surrounding moutains and showed us some great plants and their usage…

There is a cool plant which seeds pop in water…this was our party trick over diner that same day and we had a giggle about it…

Again we went to where the balises have their showers in the wild … they are so close to nature there was a bunch of 3 men with kids when we got there and they did not flinch or got dressed but carried on a usual with their showing business…

This is also one of the few places in Bali where environmental issues are a primary concern and they are hot on cleaning the rubbish out and I have to say it is refreshing when we have been trekking in the back of beyond and still manage to come across pile of garbage just thrown for the road side....
