Next stop at Legong - Fine art of Batik.
Here everything is handmade, they copy the design onto the material by hand, they cover the design by wax on both sides, fill the designs with ornaments & dots, they then dye and add colour. It's a very long process. Traditional colours are blue, brown & light yellow.
Weaving.

In the Temple's you have to have your knees covered -hence why we are wearing hired Sarongs.

The dance troop. I hope Bali never loose this tradition, as for me this was one of the highlights.

We had a great time in Bali and feel we saw a lot of the original/traditional Bali.
