Ubud Day 1

Yet another early rise for our 6.45am flight from Darwin to Bali. Everything ran smoothly, with the only downside being the child with the most hideous noise and my headphones having no battery...

We landed in Bali and the visa on arrival was easy enough but we ended up paying more for a taxi having not prebooked one. The taxi journey was around an hour and a half which Tom did not enjoy! We arrived at our accommodation recommended by Aron and Rachel (dewi ayu) and were pleased we could check straight into our room.

For £19 a night, the room is huge and good enough. That wouldn't have even got us a bunk bed back in Australia! After a rest and a shower (and a quick dip for Tom) we headed out into Ubud. The roads were busy with the amount of people as they're only small and thin. I wished I had lots of money to shop as there's an abundance, along with food places and spas! (missed those in Aus)

We went to mudra for our first and only meal of the day which had a cool, spacious vibe upstairs with lots of healthy goods on the menu. It felt good to have a rice dish again and it felt even better to be paying £16 for 2 meals and 2 drinks!

After our food, we went to the spa for an aromatherapy massage which was lovely! Again.. Made lovelier by the fact it was £6 each for an hour!

On the way back, we stopped for a cononut water which is the biggest coconut I've had in all of Asia!

Here's hoping it all helped to heal Tom for a new day in Ubud!Okumaya devam et
