Volcano part 2

...completely in love...



Bonsai banana trees,chilli plantations and a huge smoke billowing volcano,now that's a good Sunday lunchtime.
Tomorrow,Liz and the kids are doing a batik course,a full day running from 9.30 ish till 5,the location being a batik exhibition we visited a couple of days ago.Batik aplenty,it's like some potato printing scam.One guy prints 'em up and puts them in his little shop where the next guy buys them up and puts them in his "exhibition" where he beckons suckers like us to come and buy them at three times the price.



"which one do you like?"
Liz likes a small red one.I couldn't give a shit but I say I like a large green one.
"yea,it has so much energy doesn't it?"
I think we should go now.
"yea,every time you look at the picture you will see something different,buy them both,I promise you'll not regret it"
Hopefully though,the Leith family
will turn out some amazing work.





Crossing the road here in Yogamalinastrogarlicmum is something of a pain in the arse,still not really sure how it works even on what appears to be a zebra crossing,they still hurtle towards you from both sides.Yesterday a policeman held the traffic up to allow us to cross,the lovely traffic policeman.
Then we took a couple of these bike taxi things back to our hotel spot and the rain came down and washed the spiders out.





Another place we visited was the remains of the Water castle and it's catacombs.A Sultan's Harem then.





Mr.Sultan had forty wives.Basically he used to make them strip off to their bikinis and get in the water.Then he'd throw a flower in and whoever it landed nearest would get to show him their boobies and much more that night.




These days there is still a Sultan here, though he only has one wife.
