Had a magic day in the mountains behind Ubud today. We had breakfast overlooking an active volcano (there was steam coming out!) and a beautiful elevated lake layng between volcanoes. Then we cycled down through the villages - 25 km! and then had a gorgeous lunch in the rice paddies.
Two days ago we were in Sanur where Molly and Ned and Bill went out in a boat the the reef and went surfing. After a tour of the reef (there weren't enough boards and after my day of days at Uluwatu I didn't care that I wasn't surfing!) I lay on the beach and had a massage and my nails done. Nice.
Food is fab, the hotel we are in now in Ubud is built into the side of the cliff that overlooks the river. It is truly gorgeous, very old and very balinese.
White water rafting tommorow and maybe some more shopping...
