Rain, Rain and more Rain!

Although we reached Bali at the very beginning of their dry season, we experienced a great deal more rain that even the Balinese expected this time of year. During the first week there was an occasional and brief shower each afternoon. During the final two weeks, it was much hotter (we heard many locals remark about the intense heat) and most afternoons included a torrential downpour or two, some lasting most of the afternoon and into the evening hours. We walked in the rain a great deal and saw the front of the villa flood many times, as you can see in the pictures. We truly felt as though we had entered a tropical rain forest during the second half of our trip.
