Desa Seni






Am a bit frustrated with blogger, it doesn't allow me to upload pictures unless I create a post and then view it and then edit it, then I can upload images... grrr.

Anyway here is a really special place in Bali... highly recommended. The owners have created a slice of what my heaven would look like, the rooms are old indonesian homes of various designs refurbished, then clustered to be like a little kampung (village). They then have edible plots of land everywhere and a full yoga schedule and an art gallery. They also have two very friendly dogs that came to stay in our room...

They were very creative in using coconuts to line the beds (from the heavy rains) and did not do companion planting as their chilli oil to deter pests would burn the herbs... Bali sure has a sophisticated eco system of plant eating bugs.

We didn't stay in this 2 storey house but when we come back with the kids and grandparents... doesn't it just look like a malay version of hansel and gretel? even the approach to the house, one wanders and then suddenly there is this place...
