I have been in Ubud now the past three days and it is an incredibly relaxing place. I have been staying at Sayong House which is 200,000 rupiah a night plus 10% tax and includes breakfast. They have a lovely pool and the upper rooms have great views. The wifi works pretty good also.

It’s not my first time to Ubud so I haven’t felt like rushing around trying to see different places. I have been feeling so relaxed, I have had been having an afternoon nap after lunch, which isn’t so bad as it is also the hottest part of the day.

Unfortunately I still have not made it to Bali, but it doesn’t stop me reading about the beautiful island. In the English edition of the Indonesian magazine of Tempo, they feature five warungs to check out in Bali.
