Another addition to our trip! Dee joined Lia and I for a week in artsy Ubud. Our focus was set on adventurous activities, including a bike tour, cooking class and gallery hop. Fallen in love with this city!
Cooking class @ Bumi Bali restaurant - after 3 months of dining out, i was finally able to get my hands dirty. Started with a visit to the market, followed by a demonstration by one the restaurant's chefs...unfortunately we did a little too much eating, and not enough cooking.

More of these weird animals at Monkey Forest
Went with Eco tours on a bike ride through Balinese villages (ie rice fields) - pretty amazing to see how primitive life is in these rural towns.

Tasting Kopi Luwak coffee - apparently one of the world's most expensive varieties of coffee, which is passed through the digestive tract of a civet animal. Otherwise known as animal poo coffee... very tasty!
Brewing coffee at a plantation
Offerings handmade for Bali's most important festival, 'Galungan' - an annual event in the wuku year, when all Balinese gods descend to earth for the festivities.

Bali Spirit Hotel- due to torrential rain, we were 'forced' to stay here a night. Driving from Kuta, our taxi had to stop over outside of Ubud amid almost waist-high flooding.
What a convenient place to be stuck!
