We leave in 9 days and high on my list are;
Sambal garang tahu tempe at Nuriani in Ubud
Reflexology at Shagi in Tuban (with Mardia)
Renewing acquintances all over Tuban
Laying on the beach and jumping in the Indian Ocean
Dinner at Pantai and watching the sunset
Returning to the Tegal Sari and sunning on the daybed on
the balcony of #24
Walking, talking, laughing, singing, gawking, bringing
presents, eating, Bintang, being with wife, and hell, I even
miss the dogs.
I have never been to Lovina and am anticipating checking out the Aditya Cottages and Singaraja. Ditto to Tanah Lot.
I'm looking forwards to leaving home ( I love it, but need a break), and sweating and smelling Bali and having my food prepared for me. The civility, humor and curiousity of the people. Walking the hills around Ubud at daybreak, the beach at Tuban (you can go for miles) on Sunday and everyday, but Sunday is special. Seeing old friends and making new ones and perhaps even finding out what makes Alex (Matrix) tick. We will be visiting homes, attending ceremonies, my wife will shop and I will lay around in the sun talking, smiling, laughing, smoking a cigar and loving life. Just like home, but in Bali.
I don't wish to appear jaded, but I feel perhaps I can whip up a little excitement if I try. Onwards and upwards, jingles
