Today the EGL crew was excited to get to the construction site since the temple floor we’ve been working on was nearing completion. We enjoyed our breakfast of some eggs and toast and a few us competed to see who could eat the most snake fruits, which really have grown on us this week. After several more hours of brick laying and concrete filling, we ended the day very satisfied with our visible progress over the course of the week. Next week, on to the compound wall!
After our morning work, we enjoyed a great lunch of mie goreng (fried noodles) and then packed up our things for our weekend excursion. We had planned a weekend getaway to Canggu, a city on the western coast of Bali, to enjoy some time on the beach and see some new sights.
On the drive to Canggu, we stopped by Tegenungan Waterfall. The waterfall was amazing and we were able to swim in the pool below while enjoying the incredible view (and take some awesome group pictures!).
Once we arrived in Canggu that evening, we settled into our beautiful Airbnb and spent some time relaxing in the villa’s courtyard pool. We explored the area around us to get dinner at XiaHouse Noodles and dessert at a cute cafe called “I Make the Pies” and then met up with some other Green Lion volunteers that were also traveling to Canggu for the weekend. Our group spent the rest of the evening walking around getting a taste of the Canggu nightlife and planning out our adventures for tomorrow.
