While we were in Bali we took a drive to the northeast area to Batur Lake, the largest lake in Bali, and took a boat ride across the lake to a cemetery that was quite unusual.
Active volcano/Mt Batur and Lake Batur
We took our boat ride across to the village where an unusual cemetery is still used.
