Candidasa

We got a driver to take us from Ubud to the Candidasa area where we booked in to Jepun Didulu Cottages.

The people seemed less 'touristed out' and more friendly to us. Some of them were picking flowers for ceremonies.

Ubud

Anna, Sim and Aelie (5) flew over to meet us in Ubud. We are staying in a lovely villa slightly south of the Sacred Monkey Forest. There are streets packed with rushing motor-bikes, but others which are pleasant and traditional.

We had breakfast in the Karsa Café before doing the Campuhan Ridge Walk, which was beautiful.
