Drove the scooters up the hill a couple hours to a town called Ubud today - lots of jungles and rice fields. The ride was long and now hurts to sit down and was a bit like a video game dodging traffic. We (Josh, Gabe and I - Maria is at work at Puri Ulu Watu) found a nice bungalow that overlooks a river, rice fields and the monkey reserves. Might be the best view of any hotel I have ever stayed. The workers mentioned many times not to leave ANYTHING outside or the monkeys will take. Little do they know we are experienced monkey handlers and I will leave a fresh banana to lure a little monkey close so I can hit with my "monkey-behave-stick" as vengance for my shin the other day.....
Tomorrow we awake early to drive the scooters to a volcano peak and then to some ruins that look like an Indiana Jones discovery.
You might have heard of Ubud as there is a movie with Julia Roberts and Penelope Cruz being filmed right now in town called "Eat, Pray, Love" - not my cup of tea but I believe this town will be the mecca for 30+ females that currently own two or more cats and are single an less than one year.
As for pictures to post - will try to grab my friends camera and upload a few tomorrow...
