Bali. Where do I begin? Third time on this island, and am still experiencing something new each time. So this is our annual 'summer' holiday, and I am glad I have some time off to really relax and be free.
We arrived in Denpasar and Ubud on Sunday night. We stayed at De Munut, a small cluster of traditional bungalows just off the centre of ubud. This place surpassed my expectations (by a long long mile). Price quality ratio is the best by far for any place i have stayed in asia , friendly hosts, Beautiful surroundings, gorgeous grounds, peaceful environment, newly renovated rooms, a pool and an awesome outdoor bathroom with a rain shower, what more could I ask for ? Oh yes, and fantastic fresh fruit juices this morning... Gosh I was spoiled !! The only downside is that it is atop a rather steep slope and is super dangerous to walk back up the slope after a dinner in town. Take a scooter... Makes life so much easier !
On day 1 we explored Ubud on foot. We wandered along the two main streets Jalan monkey forest and Jalan hanoman. We then went to monkey forest itself, where a certain monkey to fancy to a certain Mr Mo. beware if you head there -- the monkeys are rather forward with their approach. Some rather aggressive, but others relatively mild (though keenly interested in jewellery and bags). We finished the evening at murni's warung, a little resto at the bottom of the steep slope. Ubud is a colourful little town where history, culture and traditions run deep. The next days we took a motorbike and headed out to the padi fields around Ubud....such a quiet tranquil place!
We finished the week in Gilli Trewangan going diving with awesome coral reefs and lots of little fish.....
