Bali Update

Thursday April 20, 2006

Just a quick update…

Breakfast of Pineapple and Banana Jaffle

We’ve spent the past 3 days hanging out Ubud, checking out the local art and doing some walks through the rural countryside. We stayed at the Sayong House, which is located in the middle of central Ubud near many great restaurants and shops. Our room was on the 3rd floor and had a lovely view of the Balinese rooftops and the stream that flows through the center of town. The room itself is very clean and simple, with two beds (one queen the other a single) and a small lockable wardrobe. Every thing in the bathroom is a dizzying blue and purple, and it had a bathtub with a hand shower and hot water. The rate for the room included breakfast: we had jaffles with bannana and pineapple and omelletes.

We’re currently eating lunch at the Bali Buddha Cafe in Ubud waiting for our transport to take us back down to the Bukit Peninsula. A new swell is forecasted to hit tomorrow so it’s back to the beach for us.

We haven’t posted with as much frequency as we’d like to, partly due to limited internet access but also partly due to the time it takes to put together a well-written post complete with photos. As such, we are going to start putting up quick updates in addition to our longer, more narrative posts. The quick posts will be more nuts and bolts orienated—where we are staying, what we’ve been up to, etc.—which hopefully will keep everyone a bit more up-to-date with our daily life. Let us know what you think.

In the meantime, we’ve posted some our first set of images from Bali to the gallery, so go check them out. We also just put up a new post about a walk through Ubud.

Hello to you both! I know the wonderful feeling of waking up each day to a new adventure…and i’m so jealous that you are experiencing it right now!
I love the short posts, anything is better than nothing. I have you saved in my favorites bar, and check on you almost every day.
My best advice for travelling with a partner for an extended length of time, is to schedule some individual time every week. It’ll give you each a chance to breath and experience something on your own, and talk about over the dinner table.
back to work for me – urgh! (stop smiling in glee)
love, emily

Dear Julie,

This is Tak from Tokyo, Marty gave me your blog address.
I enjoy your photo and message.
But I don’t find yourself except one on the airplane, please
take more of your photo with local people or animals,
then we will see how much you enjoy Indonesia.

I hope you will stop at Tokyo on the way back to the U.S.
Eiko and Tak
