Mount Batur, Kintamani volcano area

This was our visit to the large volcano and crater on the north east of Bali.
It was spectacular and blessedly cool.
We drove to the top and were surrounded by very persistent hawkers and had a very dismal, overpriced buffet lunch. The kids thought the top crater looked very much like a throne .

We drove down to the lake to look up at the crater walls.
Inside the crater there was a large area given over to farming (this is where GJ got his great chiili shots) and some locals walking by with the fish they caught.

Ben really wanted to go into the volcano, I think he thought that it would be very interesting!
