2018-07-09 - Bali: Day 1 - Arrival





We travelled on Jetstar and it went pretty quick  - on arrival a man hogged the window so we couldn't see much - seriously dude!

So nice to be warm and to smell the smells. Maddie our driver took 90 minutes to get to DD Ubud Villa. He was such a nice driver!

Perhaps the most spectacular jungle hut we have ever stayed in! It also had an amazing infinity pool.
Both huts were set in the jungle with wonderful views, and it was so steep that they had some great steps ready to be stepped along in the morning! The girls will love it!

Spent a while by the pool, then Madi drove us to Ubud. Everyone was trying to sell us rafting tickets-Some cheaper than others. Went around some temples first and then the markets-lots of people were not successful getting us to buy-think we were just too tired!

Started to rain heavily, so we popped into a Warung for curry, fish and noodles.


Observations:
- there were so many kites flying in the sky
- Night sounds were amazing
- A lot of Europeans, and a lot of smokers!
- crazy roads once again
- wonderful rain forest with really thick trees
- sculptures everywhere-wooden and stone
