Day 10 - Sunday in Nusa Dua - At the hotel

It did rain heavily the entire night. The heavy rainfall had been far from normal and in Indonesia itself had caused landslides and accidents with several dead. 
In the bar of the restaurant here, the ceiling had fallen down. 
The sun was shining and we spent a few hours by the pool eating satay from the grill for lunch. In the afternoon we went for a walk to the Bali Collection.  Some shopping and it also turned into a cup of ice cream in Starbucks. On the way back we walked through a street with local merchants and restaurants. When we went out for dinner that evening, it had started to rain again

For dinner we got Bebek Betutu, which is long-fried duck or chicken - we got chicken. It is a delicacy in Indonesian and Balinese cuisine. The meat is rubbed into a mix of spices and fried in banana leaves for 8 hours. The chicken was filled with pak choy and garlic. We got it served with cooked rice, small bowls of pickled onions (usually also with chili in strips), deep-fried onions and soy sauce, and jackfruit soup. Getting the chicken cut out at the table was a bit of a challenge! Usually the dish is pretty spicy, but the chef had adapted the amount of spices to our Northern European taste buds. It tasted super good.
