In Reply to: Tegal Sari room photo - can you ID it? posted by bad_kitty_bella on Saturday, 25. October 2008 at 11:50 Bali Time:
This is a wooden room...I think it is maybe number 8? It has views of the rice paddies. It's lovely when the sawah is green and lush, but each stage of the rice cycle is fascinating in it's own right....I love it when all the ducks are let in to have a feast on the grubs and worms! They waddle about having a great old time...
I also love watching the harvest....the smoldering earth after a fire has gone through.... probably the least interesting time is when it's muddy and all the activity is over. So whilst that can be disappointing if that's your view from your room, you can be guaranteed lush views if you travel somewhere else in Bali during your holiday. On our last trip in April we saw every stage of the cycle during two weeks of touring about.
