Why is it in every day life you would give anything for a sleep in...so of course on holidays its on the top of the list of things to do... but we were up at sparrows....6.30 on the dot.....so we had breakfast early and decided to take a quiet walk down the beach...
We had organised for our driver to pick us up and he would take us for a bit of a sightseeing day
We started off at the Barong Dance, which is a traditional Balinese dance....half way through our camera died so we only got a few photos....
The costumes and dance were amazing
We went up through Ubud to see the Batur Volcano...sorry about the horrible photos, these were taken on my mobile and still shots on the video camera....we had lunch here...the resturant sat on the edge of the mountain and there was a drop straight down.....
you can see the latest lava flow which was in 1994, the locals use the volcanic rock to do sculptures...
We left here and started to head back down the mountains when it started to rain, we stopped in at a coffee plantation and had some of the best hot cocoa (I bought some to bring home ...and some chocolate)....
We also went to the sacred baths and temple...we had to wear a sarong each to get in but it was raining so hard that when I video taped it instead of pushing pause to stop recording I was doing the opposite....so on the video there are lots of shoes and rain...
We then went to the Monkey Forest in Ubud.....This place was amazing...it was late and we were running out of time but the forest was so beautiful and the monkeys didn't hassle us at all (I had heard some bad stories)
Some stone statues that were overlooking a steam
