Day 29: Ubud

Travel day! We left for our return trip to Ubud this morning and spent a long few hours stuffed in a small van going over tons of mountains. In the middle of the trip we stopped at a beautiful temple in the middle of the lake, that is actually on postcards all over Bali. Quite the surprise but it turned out to be a good day. We also had lunch at a little bakso stand, which I got without meatballs. So it was soup, noodles, tofu and egg, tasty tasty.

Then back in the car for the rest of the ride, through gorgeous forests and winding mountain roads. Saw some monkeys, pigs in a truck and probably more cool stuff I already forgot. Then before we knew it we were back in Madra Homestay, our first Balinese home.

It was a fun car ride.

Erica, Rachel and I wandered around Ubud in a direction we had never ventured before after dropping off laundry. I am ecstatic to have clean and dried laundry. Singaraja is great for hand washing and quick air drying but it has left most of my clothes a bit stretched up, so I’m hopeful that they will tighten back up when I grab them tomorrow!
