Bali Day 4 - Off to Ubud!

series of crazy faces.
this is just what we do when we are free.


Day 4

YAY to UBUD!
Although it was a really long journey from Tulamben to Seminyak then to Ubud on the bus. Took our driver 3 hours to get there. Again we met with another hiccup. we were supposed to have lunch at the famous Potato Head but we didn't know that we had to make a reservation. So we were turned down at the gates, they didn't even allow us to make a drive in just to see the architecture. So atas right!!!!

sigh.

so we had lunch at the famous Iku Oka Babi Guling in Ubud. It has 3 franchises now.
We all had the special set (60,000 rupiah!!! price has risen!) and I ordered the avocado juice which is more like a milkshake sweetened with chocolate syrup.

after lunch, we continued our drive down to our resort in Ubud - Greenfields Resort which overlooks the rich paddy fields with ducks waddling up and down.

Check in and it's shopping time!!!

my buys
  1. Uluwatu balinese lace top
  2. rattan clutch bag
  3. incense holder - 3 nos
  4. loose dress in dark blue
  5. 2 tier cake stand
  6. 3 tier pastry stand
  7. 4 bamboo bowls for salads
  8. salt and pepper holders - really cute and neat stuff!
  9. 2 hats - straw and crochet
we stopped at a cafe for a quick pick me up iced cafe latte before we trotted on to Pasar Ubud. Some of the stalls were starting to close. SHUCKS. wanted to buy a painting but the fella quoted us 800,000 rupiah for a 1mx1m painting. Hmm. we didn't know what's its worth and didn't dare to bargain.

Had dinner at the famous Dirty Duck Diner (bebek bengil) and again another disappointment, no more crispy duck!!!

>_<

So after my delicious plate of pork ribs which literally slipped off the bones, much like those made in Tony Romas and Chillies, I walked off my calories with yet another round of ubud's shopping street in the dark. Ubud shops closes really early like 7pm. Since I can't shop no more, I went down to Circle K to buy snacks for the night.

and tmw is back to sg.

so much for my easter break. so fast. so fast.

Hope you had a good break too.
