Tejakula was exactly what we were looking for in a getaway - a glimpse into an authentic Bali, far removed from the tourist crowds. Our journey into town from the beach house was about a twenty minute walk along an unpaved dirt road. What we found was a secluded village of friendly people and their humble but handsomely ornamented, colourful homes, all against a backdrop of lush greens. We were also treated to a lot of curious stares and smiles.

| Doors, gates, fences - almost always embellished with decorative details. This one was particularly beautiful. |

| Supposedly everything that is considered holy is covered/wrapped in cloth like this |
 |
| I really enjoyed all the hand-painted signage |

| Our dinner - we had no idea what we were getting but it was tasty and only 70 cents a plate! |
