We also drove around the scenic hills and volcanoes of East Bali, and had a couple of short treks. The hotel has a picnic area atop one of the mountains with awesome views of the surrounding mountains. The platform appears to be one snapped stick away from tumbling down the mountain, but it was a great place for a laidback meal.
Seems like a good spot to use that filler story about Balinese names I promised earlier. Basically, the Balinese don't use last names (nor do most Indonesians generally). And they only have four first names, one each for the first, second, third, and fourth child. For example, all first children are named Wayan, whether they're male or female. Then the names recycle, so the fifth and ninth children are also named Wayan. So the millions of Balinese are all called one of four names, with no last names, which I would imagine is a huge pain in the ass for the Yellow Pages.
