Last Day in Bali: Barong Dance, Bali-Birds and Mother Temple

On our last day in Bali, Wayan took us to a Barong and Kris Dance. Through the gamelan orchestra and Balinese dancers, the story of Good and Evil was told to us.

The Barong is a mythical creature that represents "good".

The monkey is the Barong's friend.

Bali-Birds Park

A nearby stop was the Bali Bird Park. This is a well designed and maintained park with birds from all over the world.

Hindu Mother Temple

The last stop of the day was the Mother Temple for Hindus from all over Indonesia. It is a huge complex going up the side of a mountain. A guide took us through it at the end of the day.
