Walking around Ubud and shopping we happened upon a coffee shop owner who has a domesticated civet. I was able to pet it. It was pretty calm but also they don’t see well during the day as they are nocturnal.
New years eve I watched Rocketman at a local restaurant then went to the Lokal bar next to the hotel. No live music but a family from Holland was playing their playlist and we started dancing. Many people passing by joined us. The next morning people addressed me as dancing queen. They said that dancing never happens there but the owners were happy as there were more thirsty people. I wouldn’t have made it to midnight of I didn’t get up to dance.
The first morning of 2023.
After breakfast I walked past the pedestrian market to the rice field. It was so peaceful and there are villas you can rent there. Every new years I go for a walk in nature. To be in Bali and take in the peaceful countryside was amazing. A woman was selling coconut water and it was lovely talking to her.
I went to the Ubud temple. In Buddhism, temples can be somewhat similar but have different bodhisattva that are the focus. The temples are a bit different. In Hindu, the temples are much more alike.
Next I am off to the bottom of Bali to an area called Uluwatu.
Photos are beautiful! You are sure seeing the countryside.
