Last year when we went to Bali we had our driver (whose details I can give you tomorrow) to take us to his families village for the day, which is just past Lovina. Had great day. Met his family. We also then went to the local school and spent afternoon with kids. They learn english there. Had our two young girls with us so we sang them Australian nursery rhymes etc. A lot of the kids there are from very poor families or even orphaned. We took a whole lot of second hand clothes, books, pencils etc over and gave them out to the kids. It is one of the poorest regions in Bali apparently. Was priceless. Doing same again this year except going to cheap shops here buying t-shirts and shorts etc cheaply and taking them all some new things. This was our favourite day in Bali last year. Took digital camera and video which was great. Kids there had never seen either let alone photo of themselves. We were able to show them the photos and footage. Have great pics, footage and memories of this day. Can email me if you would like the drivers details.
