Day 46: Ubud
Our breakfast this morning was so good! We had a simple Balinese dish of fried rice with chicken, topped with pieces of egg, and fresh fruit juice. If this is how it’s going to be throughout Southeast Asia, we may come back with big bellies!
Since our hotel had no vacancy for tonight, we walked around looking for another place to stay and found a nice place down the path for a lot cheaper. (Bargaining is customary here, and we are slowly sharpening our bargaining skills!) So we shifted our stuff over and then went to town to walk around.
We made our way to the Monkey Forest, where we walked through – you guessed it – a forest full of monkeys! They were pretty cute, and had a lot of character, and it was funny to watch people feed them bananas or the monkeys just grabbing them. Gaurav managed to convince one of the monkeys to climb on his head and he then tried to grab our camera bag! But we scolded him like a little child and he put it down. The funniest moment was when one of the monkeys tried to grab a girl’s dress (after he pooped on it) and her boyfriend yelled at the monkey to let go, but the monkey slapped the guy’s foot instead!
After our time with the monkeys, we had some lunch, walked around town for a bit, and then walked through the rice paddy fields around evening. It got dark pretty fast and we got a bit lost in the rice paddies (a little stressful), but thankfully we made it out (without killing any frogs)!
Then we had a quick bite to eat and headed back to our hotel. Not a big day, but a nice, slow introduction into Southeast Asia!
