DAY 21: UBUD BALI
We walked the main rice field walk of Ubud past Sari Organics. Pretty precarious after you turn the corner and head back along the river. A long way down. I would not want to lose anyone down there. We held onto Ezra and Viena especially tight. Very similar to a “Romancing the Stone” slide. All those movies make sense now. I am becoming better at negotiating with the taxi drivers. $2 not $3 took us to the bridges after we walked through the monkey forest. We started walking early. We woke up, filed up a liter of chocolate milk at the market. Ate cereal at the market and off we go. I have been feeding the children and not really thinking about me. Viena’s cereal was 20 cents. I think the one with the bowl is 20 cents. Next time we will bring own bowl and spoon. Viena walked the entire way. She is definitely a great walker. Ezra tires and has some Travellers Diarhea (TD) issues and required carrying, especailly at the end. Ezra has not been as into the walks as everyone else. He needs some type of adrenaline to keep his interest. We ate some fresh cocnut and some yummy Mangee fruits. Ezra and I also trid to take a shortcut across the rice fields – a mistake. A rice field worker came out of his hut with a smile and directed us the right way. We spoke to a couple who owned a jojobo house from Java in the rice fields. He was from India. Also, we met Michael who lives next door – all nice people with a bigger connection to Ubud. Bali is like that.
