Bali #4

In Ubud, still having a great time.  We've been staying at Komaneka Bisma, an amazing hotel a few minutes out of Ubud built into a cliff overlooking rice paddies, a river and coconut palms.

Eating great Indonesian and Balinese food, wandering around very green and lush landscapes, exercising, swimming, relaxing.... it has rained a bit, which has forced us to stay in some of the time - which is not a bad thing.  Travelling with a baby is a very different pace to the way in which M and I have previously travelled. 

Had a massage the other day while still in Seminyak.  Pretty good (although not quite hard enough for my taste).  When I arrived I had to change into a robe and "one size fits some" paper underpants. Unsurprisingly, they were not a particularly good fit.
Ubud itself feels very different to Seminyak, and far more international (not dominated by Australians).  Lots of good-looking shopping, but we aren't doing a lot of shopping.  We don't particularly need batik in our lives.
