Buggy/ river canyon / special dinner




Sorry for typos in all if these - very hard on phone to edit and between suckled pigs and rafting and jungles ! Lol 

So hard to find the time and energy to write these blog posts but i know i will be so mad at myself if i don't as never want to forget this trip and these moments !

Today was our most packed day yet . Out by 8am and back 9:30pm without a break . Wonderful times though .

Buggy all terrain vehicles in morning through jungle and rice paddies . Stunning . Guys loved it ( especially bear ! ) for me was cool but not my fave . ( i chose it for them !! ) Very happy did it though for the sheer beauty of scenery . Stopped in village and met a local family and saw their home .

Lunch was so good . Then off to river tubing . Omg this was the best activity have ever done in my life . So incredibly beautiful and even more fun and beautiful than white water rafting . Never knew could be possible to beat that !
Indescribable actually . Huge water adventure on single tubes through the most amazing river and views ever with small fun rapids everywhere . The longest not so lazy river . Sitting in that tube was 2 hrs of best time of my life in the jungle with magnificent nature . And a zipline to get there !!

Went to our tour guides indys home tonight for dinner with his family . What an honour and experience . We met his beautiful family and had traditional balinese food on the floor of the celebration temple and ate with our hands . We read up on all the customs prior so were well equipped ! I was so scared in case served something i would not liked but loved every delicious bite of the corn fritters the peanut chicken satay and the corn soup and curries . It was a delicious  feast!

Met all the cousins and kids at the compound and visited the family temple and 10 pigs . Bear and winda his daughter are the same age and she is a total sweetie 

This was a truly magical night . We were so so so exhausted by time got back to villa . We made last minute decision to cancel volcano bike tour tomorrow as need a day off . Will sleep in ( maybe until 7am if lucky ! ) laze by the pool and read . Have lunch and a little shopping in ubud center . Then booked a couples 3.5 hr spa package at a ridiculous price !! Bear wont do this but will get another massage another day . I am so excited for a day off tomorrow to kick back 

Them the next day off to bali barat national park for 2 nights and wildlife and some of balis finest snorkelling !!
