Chocolate and Coffee Indulgence


Today we had our third massage.  Cacao, the raw fruit of chocolate, protects and nourishes the skin.  Coffee assists in circulation and provides astringency that evens the skin.

The treatment begins with a body scrub of crushed coffee and cacao beans.  Then the body scrub is brushed off, and our body is slathered with a gel of fresh cacao fruit and aloe vera, and finally with cacao butter, vanilla bean and a coconut oil massage.  This was an amazing sensual experience!  Afterwards, we were presented with fresh cacao fruits to eat.  This was a new experience for me.  The fruits inside the shell are sucked down to the seed.  They are sweet and delicious.

Another fabulous dinner.  Every dish is always artfully presented. 
 In Balinese there is no word for art or artist.  Art is a way of life, and everyone is an artist.
After dinner the sous-chef Bobby came out to meet us.
