Klapa ; Sound of Female Klapa

Sat 18 April
When hiring a car in Bali it’s always a good idea to pick a rental business close to a petrol station as there’s rarely enough juice in the car to get out of the driveway let alone to a bowser. My lesson was learnt on the way to Klapa, rolling a dead engine onto the side of sunset road and making a heat of the day hike to the nearest petrol station to fill up some empty aqua bottles. By the time I got up to the ‘new Kuta’ it had been a hot mission, but one look at the ocean view as sunset began to put on a show and the energy returned to my veins. Looking out over the coast line it’s easy to see why ‘Dreamland’ is always such a popular destination, a perfect area to unwind into nature and escape the downtown madness. I soon found my friends and we settled into the grooves dished out by DJ Tammy from Jakarta who was first to hit the decks as part of the ‘Sound of Female’ party. The tracks continued to roll along strong with DJ’s Heidi and Niina until the cliff top outdoor area became a neat dance floor for the taking. Open air entertainment is the perfect end to a hot day and the females on this occasion knew how to lay down the right soundtrack…
