Galungan

The holiday Galungan/Kuningan occurs every 7 months in Bali. During this time, people who have passed away return to their ancestral homes for a visit and then on Kuningan they go back to heavenly iCloud. Many of the Balinese shops and warungs will close during this time (about week) and many of the Balinese will celebrate with a day at the beach. The photo below is of Mertesari Beach, which is the farthest beach to the west in Sanur--a wide, open beach with plenty of parking space and a favorite of the locals. Also, a great place for flying kites, which is also a favorite local pastime. Generally, this beach would be all but deserted--but, as you can see, not so during Galungan!
