Ubud

A relaxing three days in Ubud is unfortunately coming to an end. Rice fields, volcanoes, hot springs,monkey forests, exotic Indonesian dancing,good food, and massages have all been on the agenda here. I mean how can you dislike a place that has a restaurant serving nothing but suckling pig and another called the dirty duck that specializes in ...crispy duck. The town has an extremely relaxed vibe even though it is fairly busy and the scenery around it is stunning. The shopping is good too and I am finding it excruciating trying not to shop. Tomorrow I am heading to the Gilli Islands with a Dutch girl I met in the Laughing Buddha Bar last night. Although sad to leave this little oasis, I am happy to be headed to what I hope will be stunning beaches.
