Bali: Part 2: Ubud

In Ubud I stayed in a great little hotel that is run by an adorable little old woman, called Oka Wati. Every morning breakfast was delivered to my patio at whatever time I'd asked for the night before. I fell in love with the green pancakes wrapped around bananas and a little coconut.

I developed a routine of having breakfast around 7:30 a swim around 8 along with reading by the pool for a couple hours. After that I would take off exploring with my camera, either on foot or by bike. One day I got a car and driver for a couple of hours who took me to the Elephant cave and a couple of temples. In the late afternoon after exploring I'd have a massage or a foot rub, since they were ridiculously cheap (about $7.00 for 1.5 hours). Then a beer at a restaurant with wifi to check in and make sure all was ok and everyone knew I was alive. A nice dinner and then maybe one of the traditional dance shows and to bed around 10pm. It was a very mellow part of the trip but culturally rich.

Eventually, it was time to depart Ubud and I headed east to Candi Dasa. I spent my last days there enjoying a quiet beach and doing a little snorkeling.
