Bali

The Odyssey takes us to so many wonderful places, but there's something different about this one. The sheer volume and diversity of posts inside our community Whatsapp groups is astonishing. Lots of posts and photos of the coffee tasting place, others with flying foxes/ bats, others seeing Balinese dance performances. We did a few of these things when we were here in 2023 - see that Blog Post here.
When the Odyssey entered the harbor we were meet with 2 tugboats shooting off their water cabins in a salute, making us feel honored and welcomed. 

Line Dancing in Bali

After docking and getting settled a local group of line dancers came in board and joined the 'Villa Vie Wave Damcers' for a performance. I'm in the Wave Dancers group and I had so much fun! Especially when we did the stand by me dance where we paired up with the Balinese ladies and get to high five at each turn. 

Scuba Diving in Bali

Then we went diving. We booked divers for us and our 2 dive buddies on board, Wayne and Donna, with Bali Scuba. This is who we went diving with when we were here 3 years ago with Alvin and Lisa. Back then our dive guides we're Sila and Yannick - to our delight, they're both still here. Yannick was already booked with another group, but Sila was available to lead our little group.
