Again, the octagon at Cilik's Beach Garden, Air Saneh, Bali

The octagon bears the personality of Inge Croe. It is akin to staying with Cilik's family in Inge's holiday house, making the experience about as far removed from staying in a resort as is possible without actually being someone's private guest. She keeps stuff here in the locked parts of the cupboard and the desk has on it a box with her scissors, glue, and collection of business cards. She has a good cd collection too, mainly classical. The sound system's speakers are mounted in the roof space, and the lighting system is far better than in the other places we have stayed, though still quite inadequate for reading at night on the sofa or the bed. Its magnificent traditional alang-alang thatch ceiling is pictured. Bali
