Roadtrip to Ubud (Part 1)

Punkt 8i simmer vo üsem private Chauffeur, womer am Sunntig kenneglernt hend, abgholt worde und hend üs uf de Weg noch Ubud gmacht.

Wieder simmer über die Hauptstross gfahre, womer uf üsem Tüürli durch de Norde vo Bali am Wuchenend gmacht hend. Noch eppe 45min hemmer denn am Wassertempel Ulun Danu Beratan en Stop gmacht und de idrücklich Tempel uf üs wirke loh. Grad womer döt acho sind, sind Hindus im Glaubenszug inklusive Musig und Opfergabe zum Tempel glaufe.
Um ene d Rueh z loh, simmer denn witer glaufe und schlussentli nocheme Ziitli wieder zum Auto zrugg.

Üse nöchsti Stop hemmer bide grösste Riisterasse namens Tegallalang uf Bali gmacht. E riiise Flächi, wo do Riis apflanzt wird. Wie üs üse Fahrer gseit het, wird do fast nur Ris produziert zum d Lüt uf Bali ernähre. De Ris, wo uf de Insle produziert wird, langet aber nöd für alli Lüt uf Bali drum müends sogar no Ris importiere, meistens us Vietnam. Leider hemmers verpasst zum chli Riis probiere bzw z poste. Drum is noher witer gange.

At exactly 8 am we got picked up by our private driver we met on sunday and started our way to Ubud.

Inthe beginning we took that same main road northwards as we had taken on our first motorbike tour on the weekend. After about 45 minutes we reached the water temple Ulun Danu Beraten where we had our first stop. It was an impressive temple right at the lake. There was even a traditional hindu procession with their music and traditional clothes when the walked towards the temple.
We then respectfully moved back to our car to not disturb them too much.

Our next stop were the biggest rice terasses on Bali called Tegallalang. A huge are that they have terassed and flooded to produce rice. As we learnt from our driver the rice is mostly used to feed the people on Bali and not for export. In fact rice they produce on the island is not even enough for Bali itself thats why the need to import more rice mostly from Vietnam. Sadly we didnt spot any options to try the rice and missed to buy some rice there. Thererfore we went on after.Read more
