Too full for Cheese and crackers, so umped to coffee and dessert…
Landing into Bali airport
Staying at the Alam Ubud Villas I chose to stay far away from the more popular places like Kuta, sanur….just to avoid the crowds….Ubud is about 1 – 1 1/2 hrs from the airport…giving me a very quiet, relaxing reflection retreat!!
Welcome by the villa’s staff with flowers, a flower foot soak, and a refreshing drink…lemon grass and ginger….
Villas Kunti which I stayed…with a private pool
Since I was travelling alone, I’m afraid I don’t have too many food pics cos I could only have soo much food on each meal…
Satay Combo as my dinner…
Good Morning forests….

a short walk near by the Villa, wow this Salak fruit is sooo sweet and crunchy
After an hour swim, I had a 2 hours massage at my own Villa
