Pineapples, Bali and an Indonesian fruit salad

Discovered a few pineapples on a recent trip to Bali. . .
 
Yayuk, Ema and Ayu showed Les and I a beautiful miniature,
ornamental pineapple at the Bali Orchid Gardens.
And a little river stone found a new home . . .
 


 
We highly recommend a visit to the Bali Orchid Gardens, just north of Sanur.
They have a beautifully laid out collection of gems, and friendly informative staff!


 
Pineapples growing wild by the side of the road.

 
Our friend and trusty tour guide, Ocha, sipping pineapple juice at the
Green Village of amazing bamboo houses.
 
 

 
Lezat Juice - pineapple, vanilla ice cream, lime, fresh mint leaves and
a lemongrass swizzle stick! Mmmmm.

 
Pineapple and yoghurt smoothie, mmmmm mm.

 
Breakfast. Actually I just wanted an excuse to photograph
Les's cousin John's fabulous lounge suite!

 
 
Oh, I wish I'd bought more of these. Soooo good!
