Today we went to visit Dad in Hospital, and before-hand popped into the town to get him some goodies! We found an amazing shop full of bright, sparkly and attractive goodies. The majority of the products are Fair Trade items from Bali. I took pictures all over the place, and the ladies in there were lovely.

The lady knitting in the background of this picture showed me out to the back room where there was an amazing courtyard, completely surrounded by ancient buildings. This shop is actually housed in the oldest building in the town.. dating back to 1132AD. She informed me that it used to be a pharmacy, (and it still has the old drawers, that the medicines used to be stored in, in the shop) the back room where she took me used to be the funeral parlour where dead bodies were laid out! I later discovered from conversation that she is a psychic/medium who does readings in that room!! Lovely!!!
