If there was one thing that characterized our trip to Bali, I think it was the fresh squeezed fruit drinks! I know, I know, you probably thought I’d say a snorkel experience or maybe seeing the rice paddies, but no, I think it was the juice. Is there anything more islandy that a fruity drink with a slice on the rim? I think not. And does anything speak more, in such a small size, to the lushness an island can produce? Unh-unh. And did anything else make us smile more often during our days? Well, maybe the ice cream cones, but those were only in one city while the fruit juices were everywhere! So, just to entertain ourselves, I present to you a bazillion juicy juice photos!
A couple o’ mango junkies in the morning!
Pineapple all the way at a British ex-pat’s fish and chips shop called Man Frydays.
More pineapple. Keep ’em coming, please.
Cranberry-orange combo – deeeeelicious!
Mango.
Pineapple-orange combo.
They call this one the Bee’s Knees: gin, limoncello, lime juice and honey. Anner loved it!
Mixed fruit – not the best, as it turned out.
Pineapple, pineapple, pineapple!
Strawberry smoothie (smoothie = with yoghurt) at the Menjangan Resort – luxury!
Mango juice goes so well with fried veggie noodles!
Pineapple once again.
Whoops! How’d that sneak in there?
Mango-papaya. Yum!
Yay for more pineapple-orange!
Pineapple-orange, thank you very much.
Pineapple-lime. You wouldn’t think it would work, but it sure does!
A couple of lemon juices (essentially fresh lemonade). Anner spiced hers up with some ginger.
A pair of blends at the Menjangan.
Pineapple juice across the street from the Ulan Danu lake temple featured on the 50,000 Rupiyah bill (just under $4).
Strawberry-pineapple on the beach. Not a bad way to spend an evening.
Oh-so-coconutty!
Lemon juice sweetness…ahhh.
Pineapple and payapa-lime drinks at our batik class. So nice!
More lovely pineapple-orange.
Final fruit juice of the trip. So, so, SO sad. Sigh.
For those of you with a keen eye, or obsessive sense of counting, you might notice that there are more juice photos than there were days of our Bali visit! Yep, we were doing two a day when we could. After no freshies in Mongolia, they were just too good to resist. Oh how I miss them already… Anyone have a fresh squeezed fruit juice to spare a friendly traveler?
What a pair of cuties!
Appears you tried every variety — at least twice! On to tea and scones.
And each was better than the last…except that mixed berries one, somehow that one didn’t work. 🙂
