We left sadly sanur
beach today to go to our villa in ubud . We have 4 hotels in our stay and this
one is 5 nights so the only one where we can really settle in and unpack .
We had a very crazy
sleep again ( hubby and i bed at 8:30pm / no dinner / no keeping track of our
son who had to go to dinner alone / thats how exhausted we both were . We woke
up super early of course and even bear did too and we all met outside on our little
prayer bali mats to read in our hut
Had an amazing
breakfast and bear surfed again for a couple of hrs ( this time we fell asleep
so werent anxious )
Had a last dip in the
pool and a few springrolls before we packed up and went to meet our indy and our
driver .
The sleep confusion
makes me feel extra sad for my mom as she has so many sleep issues and rarely
gets a good sleep :((
We stopped at a
gorgeous temple and heard all about balinese rituals and customs and culture .
If i was a religious person i would definately be a buddha and second choice a
hindu specifically in bali .
I loved seeing my
boys in sarongs :)
Then off to ubud
hotel and resort for our next stay . Omg !! Omg ! Not as quaint as first hotel
as much bigger but our villa ?????????? This is heaven . The three of us had
our mouths hanging open for real .
Our own outside
plunge pool and sunken outside bath with fish ponds beside . Even the toilet
has full windows and a pond beside it ! And an outdoor ( and indoor ) shower
with fish ponds !
Windows fully
everywhere . This is truly my dream home . Outside Bear and i within minutes
crawled on the cozy biv bali bed with our books ( i love that he went to
chapters and got 2 books before coming here )
Hubby dipped in the
pool and all 3 lounging in this actually affordable luxury ! I cant believe
this is within our budget and so luxurious .
Resting for a couple
of hours and then heading to " dirty duck " resto which was bears
choice . We will walk there and back to get off our lazy butts a bit
Tomorrow a cumtural
day of temple cleansing and spiritual healing . Then to see the monkeys and
coffee fields and the traditional woodcarvings . Bear is going to play some
soccer with the locals too as our guide suggested that which is super fun
Love love love it
here
I realize how burnt
out i was coming here . My mind was burnt and feels so good to replensih it
with some rest and relaxarion
I wrote the authors
note , dedication and acknoledgmwnts to my book here in bali .
Also just finished
two books and love getting absorbed in a great novel
Especially like being
with our boys . Its so bonding to share this together . We keep joking how each
villa is the most romantic place ever ! And here we are with our son :)) would choose
it over and over again !
So many inside jokes
and good times together . Each day we relax and bond more . I love these alone
trips with one kid each
Miss my girl and boy
at home though . Big
Big big kisses and
hugs
Beauty this is the
safest place ever for real so dont worry !! ( beauty cried two nights as she
was scared how far away this is )
We went to ubud
center to eat and walked from our hotel to get there . Yup its chrystal clear
to us we are not city people . Huge traffic and loud noise , pollution , store
after store . Holes in the pavement and have to walk single file . An
experience for sure but not what we prefer . Lets just say visiting china ,
india wont be top of our list !
That being said it
was an experience and we had a great dinner seated on cushions on the floor at
the " dirty duck " . Bears meal was the most unappetizing thing i
have ever seen and liklely made me become a vegeterian instantly but he loved
it
Until he got bali
belley or food poisoning ( we arent sure yet ) we have been up most of the
night as he has been really really sick from both ends :(( thank god we all
went to bed by 9:30pm
Its such a helpless
feeling to watch someone have this type of bug far away from home . We of
course know he will be ok as we have all had this type of thing many times over
but its hard to watch .
We have our first big
day today of seeing bali with a guide
and spiritual
healer and monkeys and corn
fields but will be
wairing to see what to do about bear :(
