Yesterday we went to Bali Adventure Tours...that was lots of fun! We decided on two of tours that we wanted...the first one was cycling and the second an elephant ride. They drove us up to the top of a valcano and then we biked 26 miles downhill...for the most part.
We went though villages, by rice fields, and they even stopped to give us a tour of a typical Balinese home. Probably the most interesting part of the tour was a stop at a coffee farm...they showed us the coffee trees and then the luwak.
Maybe I was really clueless when it came to coffee, but I didn't know that luwak coffee was the most expensive coffee, or that it is suppose to be so great. I'll explain the process for those of you who like me don't know what it is...they catch the luwak and then feed them coffee the coffee fruit. Since then can't digest the bean it goes through them and they poop it out. Someone then goes through the poop removes the coffee beans and sits them out in the sun to dry for a week. Once dried, the shell oaround the bean is removed and then the coffee bean is ground up and made into coffee.
They did have some luwak coffee there for us to try if we wanted, having never heard of it before and usually enjoying a good cup of coffee I tried it...and it was a little different from regular coffee.
As part of the tour we were feed a buffet lunch...I had a salad then went for the good stuff....veggie tempura, fried noodles, fried rice, fresh fruit...it was so good.
After we ate our fill, we headed out to ride the elephant. We rode an elephant named hola who is 28 and single according to her trainer.
So of course I had been sunburned, and then I was out in the sun all day yesterday, I applied my sunblock before I left and while I was out...I think my face managed to burn a little more even trough an SPF of 90!
Today we decided to try stay inside so that I can attempt to let my sunburn heal some...I'm trying to drink plenty of water and I have aloe vera gel that I'm putting on.
