You step out of the car as the driver closes the door and the humid Balinese air rolls over you like a warm hand. Rice paddies slope away from the roadside; the river below flashes silver where sunlight catches its current. Today unfolds as a stitched sequence of village life, temple courtyards, and a short stretch of river that will push you forward in a kayak.
