Last week, we welcomed a very nice retreat group from Latvia for 6 nights, made up of 16 participants guided by Ilona. Among many activities, the particularly appreciated respiratory therapy. They gave good feedback, everyone loved their stay, one of the ladies even said that they were treated like queens. Such touching words are the best reward for our staff!
With such a name, our attention is instantly attracted. So what is this fruit, completely unknown in Europe? Also called “Pitahaya”, it is the fruit of a cactus that grows everywhere in the tropical areas of our planet. Its name probably comes from its skin looking like leather with prominent scaly tips. Anyway, it is delicious in many ways, either as a fruit or as a juice. Ours in Dajuma grow in the garden with this unique Indian pink color inside as shown on the photo.
It is very moving to see the children of our fishing neighbors playing in the giant pots of our cape. With the means at hand, they build magnificent models which sail perfectly identically to the prahos of their fathers. They proceed in two stages: in the giant pots they test the new models and when they come out victorious in the tests, they are then put in the sea. Well played guys!
Last week we were happy to introduce in our Tours’ Catalog a new interesting excursion which is definitively “off the beaten tracks”. Take a look: you leave Dajuma around 9 a.m. in the direction of Gilimanuk, the extreme western tip of the Bali national park which is also the port of embarkation for Java. After an hour’s drive, you discover a small cove bordering the Gilimanuk mangroves where a traditional fishing boat awaits you for a trip of about 2 hours. You learn how mangrove trees can survive in salt water, and how the mangrove is also a paradise for birds. Then you are invited to snorkel above untouched corals. It will bent be time to return to the starting point where a seafood lunch prepared by the local waurung awaits you. On the way back to Dajuma you will be offered several stops: visit the famous starling bird endemic to Bali, very rare, and another in Negara at the weaving museum.
