Welcome to Bali

Barong A few few pictures tell more then a thousand words , so take a look at some photo's made in Bali ...

Bali , part of Indonesia , and one of the most beautiful places on earth . The sun is always shining , most of the rain falls at night , so the whole island is always green . About 95 % of the population are Hindu's , the most friendly people you'll ever meet , everyone is smiling and very helpful Cool .

The Balinese people live in total harmony with nature , respecting all lifeforms . They have an excellent kitchen , great taste for less calories ( if you like ! ) . Bali is the place to be for everyone , for the sporty , the lazy , the jungle explorer , and the culture lover .

About 300 macaques currently reside in the monkey forest. There are approximately 35 adult males, 95 adult female and 170 young.
Conflict sometimes arise when two group are in the same area.

Adult males weigh up 8-10 kilos, have a large canine teeth, broad shoulders and facial hair that resembles a mustache.The adult females are smaller than the males( 4-8 kg)and have long facial hair resembling beards.

If available they like very much to eat bananas, papayas or other kind of fruit. Even also they like to eat bread as well!
You will have a great time by walking under the shade of big trees and feeding the monkeys.
