Ubud

My travel companions had gone to Ubud in the first part of their trip, and was so glad that they wanted to go back, because it was the only place in Bali that I had wanted to go to. Anne found a very nice villa behind a rice paddy. Though it took a while to find it, it was a great find once we did.

They had to pick us up in a golf part as the car had to park a ways away.

The grounds were really nice. Here's our bedroom. There were 3 bedrooms for the 5 of us. 

Dinner at Marni's Warung, recommended by our driver. Located very close to our villa, by a river. 

Food was yummy and prettily presented.

I am so glad I got to go to a Wayang Kulit shadow puppet show. I had taken a class in college, so I had some background. They did not have the popular Ramayana story, so couldn't follow it as well, but they had some English comedy bits meant for tourists like us. Glad that Anne came with me.
