During my first several days in Indonesia, specifically Bali, we saw and visited lots of cultural events and places but none looked like the Bali I had in mind before this adventure. It was all beautiful, educational, exciting, and invited lots of photo opportunities. However, after the organized tour, I spent an extra two days and voila there was the Bali I had envisioned. Here are some images of the beach just a short walk from my hotel.

These four images illustrated to me how this “sail” works.

The numerous restaurants along the water each make dining and viewing the landscape and seascape a perfect pair.
