After breakfast, we depart our hotel with our guide and coach for a full day exploration of Eastern Bali. Our first stop is at Puri Agung or Karangasem Palace, a 19th century royal building with a series of compounds that house the royal palace of the last king and other associated compounds and courtyard. Next we proceed to Tirta Gangga Water Palace, the second water palace magically located between towering hills and rice terraces. After exploring the extensive tropical gardens and two large, shallow ponds, the painted statues of Balinese Barong and Rangda as well as the series of decorated water channels, we continue the visit to Sibetan Village, which is famous for its “salak” or snake skin fruit. Lunch is included today at a local restaurant.
