2/8/10 Monday Ubud - Bikes in Bali

Good morning 4:00 AM. What? I'm still jet lagged? But don't worry because the roosters want to talk to me? Great.


Steff and I now adore banana pancakes. Mmm.

We made a new friend! Meet Rich, our organized British pal. The three of us decided to see the "elephant cave"/temple together. On bikes...

Now, Steff has always turned down my pleading for her to go biking with me on a calm bike trail in Brooklyn. I've heard over and over again that she "can't bike" "hates biking" "scared to death to bike" and so on. I love biking, but even I was a bit nervous riding on the edge of a busy road, with no helmet, and buses and motor scooters flying past us - inches away. I turn around to check on Steff... and she's right behind me.. SMILING. It turns out she's a big liar face and was a rock star at biking the whole day!

The Elephant cave was ok, the walk around it in the forest was great. A lady showed us how to make the offering baskets. Our inner crafters were happy. We spent the rest of he afternoon biking to another temple, getting lost, eating the best noodles ever, and enjoying the small towns/country side/amazingly green rice fields.

We got to watch avatar at a local bar while eating dinner. The fell asleep 2 seconds after getting back to our home stay.
