| Daily journal of the Bali leg of a 2000 trip around the world. We awoke to our final morning of utter pampering. After breakfast we turned on the Women's Semifinal action in the US Open. The exciting Williams vs. Hingis match inspired us on the treadmills in the fitness center. Checking-out went smoothly and soon we were across the river. The bell boy called to get a radio-taxi. This perplexed us for a few moments since there seemed to be a long line of taxis waiting. Soon one of these drivers approached us, offered to take us for 400 baht (more than twice the fare). When we refused the offer and acknowledged that we knew the correct amount he started yelling about how long it would take and other lies about road construction. It is strange to realize the number of tricksters in Bangkok. Our taxi arrived, and we had a smooth, uncongested ride to the airport. We wandered through the duty-free area and checked email before boarding a huge 747 for the flight to Denpasar. Most of the passengers were enroute from London and looked quite tired. |

t the dawn of Bali's Hindu history a traveling holy man from India found a place in central Bali where 'two rivers meet', Campuhan, in Balinese. He vowed to build a temple above the cliff overlooking the rivers. The temple is still today a place of ceremonies and quiet contemplation.
In the 1940s the princely family of Ubud opened the area to foreign painters which influenced a lively art culture in the surrounding villages which today is as vivid as ever. Their output is displayed and sold in the bustling streets of Ubud, ten minutes walk up the road.
