Day 31 – Shopping day

Our first day in Kuta was just to get a feel for the area which was loud, crowded, busy and full of shops. We spent the morning with breakfast overlooking the pool, buying fresh fruit on the beach, lunch at the Rainbow cafe and checking out the shops.

Day 32 – Off to Ubud

Chris had found a guy to take us to Ubud for 200,000 rupia (same as the ride from the aiport, hmm.. think we might have gotten ripped off a bit). It was a two hour ride to Ubud. We checked into the Sunti Ubud Resort – just south of all the hustle and bustle of Ubud- with a nice with a pool.

Ubud offers tons of shops, markets, restaurants, hotels, spas. We were both pretty beat and broken after two full days of wandering through towns in flip flops dodging motorbikes.

We found where Wayan from Eat, Pray, Love lives, but didn’t look amazing or exciting and ended up having a nice juice from a café across the street. I like the feel of Ubud and think I could spend more time there in a future trip. We walked through the monkey sanctuary and that was nice just to be somewhere without bikes. The monkeys are crazy!

That night for dinner we were both pretty tired and ended up eating a pizza at Pizza Bagus – it was pretty good and they also had a nice beetroot, carrot and apple juice – yum!
