The yoga tour was over, and Barbara and I hired a driver to take us to Tembok. We stopped to visit a temple along the way.
Our guide pointed out the Balinese musical instruments. Balinese music has five tones, whereas western music has seven.
I played this Balinese drum. It reminds me of the Indian packawaj instrument I used to play at satsang kirtan.
We stopped and had lunch at a restaurant overlooking the Gunung Agung volcano. In 1963 it blew its top. The catastrophic eruption killed a thousand people and destroyed entire villages. Streams of lava poured right down to the sea at several places, completely isolating the eastern end of Bali for some time.
