If you are in Bali and you like butterflies do not miss this place
Magic. From the moment you walk into Bali Butterfly Park, you feel like Alice in Wonderland. There is charm around you. And life. Butterflies that give dizzying turns. The least shy sit on you, while others tickle you, like the finest feather, when in their movement they have touched you. Sometimes you have the feeling that they are the fluffiest snowflakes that fall on the tip of your nose. You wipe yourself, but you're afraid of hurting them or breaking their flight. So wait. It's the best thing you can do while they're free. Free to fly wherever they want, when they do not sit on a flower that winked. Mirage. The line between reality and illusion is so thin. Insects you never thought you would see are now in your palms. You see a leaf, but in the next second, you feel it move. You see a stick, but the next minute you realize he has legs. Everything is deceptive and nothing is what it seems.
Only at the end, you realize that they are just butterflies. And nature. A nature as versatile as it is illusory. Lotuses give warm hugs and gentle kisses when they meet and bathe in life-giving water. Time flows slowly around you if it flows because sometimes he doesn't want to do anything.
Here we are in front of a nursery! Also of butterflies. What could be more sensitive than the moment when you see them come to life or when they are still waiting to come to light ?! The metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly is amazing.
Extravagant, camouflaged, huge, transparent, butterflies make a show. And not just them. Everything around you is a story. In a whisper, the White Rabbit tells you: Alice, it's time to go! The last key I had in my pocket turned out to be the exit key. We left the Butterfly Park behind, but we took them with us. In the stomach.
