A long hot walk
Hello again from Bali.
I forgot to mention in our last post about the dinner that we had with the Irish guys. We walked into a place that evening and sat down to order food. Before we knew it the guy just brought food to the table. We didn't really "order" anything. It was all pretty excellent though as most meals have been.
So last night C decided that she wanted to do it up so we went to Mozaic. This place is fancy fancy for food and beverage, but because the place is located in Bali the dress code is somewhat relaxed (we saw some guys in tshirts at one table). The service was amazing and the food was fantastic. We ordered the Chef's Suprise menu and had no idea what they were bringing us for every course. C showed them her gluten-free note and they had absolute no problem in accomidating her with fancy stuff that was gluten-free.
Today we took a long walk. We visited the Palace here in Ubud and then walked through the Monkey Forest. It was really fun and luckily we didn't get any monkeys trying to steal our stuff. We walked through a village that is traditional for their wood carvings and saw all kinds of cool carvings of all shapes, sizes and naughtyness (wooden penis bottle openers seem to be a favorite). On the walk back we stopped for lunch at a roadside warung and had a just a wonderful and inexpensive lunch of chicken, egg fritters, tempe and rice. Unfortunately we didn't bring a map so on the way back our walk took a wrong turn and we walked for quite a long ways in the heat by mistake.
Tonight is the traditional Balinese dinner @ Ketut's place and tomorrow we plan on going for a day trip to the volcano, the Elephant Cave and other places. And tomorrow evening is Kecak!
Oh yeah and we found the FAST Internet place in town. :)
