Thanks, everyone! We loved stumbling upon this section of the market with its beautiful flowers and friendly people. A nice little slice of non-touristy Bali.

@Leslie: It’s great that you return to Bali at least once a year – must be nice to have the place be so familiar with you. Yes, you’ve probably been in this market (or a similar one) – we got lost in the alleys and stumbled upon this peaceful scene. Made our day.

Great panorama. I always look forward to taking a look at what you’ve got for us each time. I love the markets in Asia, they are so alive and bustling with energy.

@Nicole: Thanks! We bought a chunk of raw palm sugar (kind of tastes like molasses) and a banana leaf wrapped chicken snack.
@Dave & Deb: Glad you’re enjoying our panorama series! It is hard to beat the markets in Asia for energy and just diversity of fruits, vegetables and people.
