Bali

Yesterday was a travel day, Yangon to Denpasar via Singapore. We arrived in the dark, slept under a mosquito net and listened to the birds in the jungle and an almighty lightning storm.

When we woke up, this is what we saw, The Panchoran Retreat, magical.

The hotel is owned by Linda Garland, known locally as the Queen of Bamboo having founded the Environmental Bamboo Foundation, she is famous for her interior design using 'nature's miracle' and the material has been cleverly used in everything: lamps, shades, screens, chairs etc. etc.

So we are up to date, feeling refreshed and off to explore Ubud and beyond.
