25 May. Warung Chiringuito, Seminyak

There ya go, that's what it looks like.
Favorite please for a beer and a piece of grilled fish.
Warung Chiringuito, Seminyak,  right on the beach.

There's the menu.
Sensational prawns for about six bucks.



Sigh, our last meal, last drinks, at this delightful little warung on the beach.
They do exceptionally tasty grilled tiger prawns and mahi tuna... basted in lime, garlic and spices. Wash that down with fresh sweet pineapple juice. Heaven.





25 May. Last day at Villa Coco. Seminyak, Bali

Farewell to Villa Coco.

24 May. Temple, large and small. Seminyak, Bali

This is a bit more elaborate. I haven't seen this before - lions and tigers and bears, oh my.


Typical small roadside temple. Seminyak.

24 May. Up on the roof of Geneva Handicrafts. Old pots, old Buddha Statues, old Rocking Horses.

This is up on the roof of Geneva, a wasteland of old stock, sitting among some old tired huge cafe setting. Weird.
Pizza ovens, stone benches, spiral staircases, bars, all overgrown with weeds.

There's all the Buddha heads, sitting on big stone benches that must have been part of the rooftop cafe.



Old rotting rocking-horses, sitting by a spiral staircase leading up to some funky but now deserted loft.



There's Laura checking out the old skylights and light fixtures.
Someone must have spent a lot of money to set this building up.
Now it's just a cheap warehouse.
Shame really.

24 May. Geneva Handicrafts, Jalan Raya Kerobokan. Seminyak, Bali

Today's destination is Geneva Handicrafts up on Jalan Raya Kerobokan.
It turns out to be a massive four story high warehouse.
This is the view from the roof.
It must have had a massive European cafe up on the top floor - now derelict and full of old Budha statues.

This is the view from the roof of Geneva.
It's the highest building around.





Just look at all that cheap junk.
Four floors of it.
Bought a few trinkets - little turtles with wobble heads. :-)
