Up early as the check out time for this place is the ungodly hour of 10am. What is that about? On the Moto and off to the elephant temple. It's supposed to be just 10mins from Ubud, though of course there are absolutely no signs anywhere. We stumble across it largely by accident but get in and get the bike parked. We walk past the selection of tat stalls, even had some woman tell me that I needed a sarong to enter the temple, now, this is true, but I know that yo...

We have the bike for a few days and so the plan is to go somewhere else today. For breakfast I have the beef bacon instead, it turns out to be a much better choice. We decide to head to Ubud, which is in the centre of Bali, because there are a number of interesting things nearby that we can check out. ----- The road to Ubud was much better than the road yesterday, we had a good highway with 2 or 3 lanes on either side, so it was not so stressful and we were abl...

Up at a reasonable time and down for breakfast, which had a few options, with my fry I could have either the chicken sausage or the beef bacon, how bizarre, the sausage for me.

I have a look online and I can see many pe...

So the fun wasn't over yesterday, as in the middle of the night I am woken to the noise of someone trying to get in to my room. The door handle rattling, what is going on? Luckily the door was locked. I go back to sleep, but am woken again later by the same noise of a potential intruder. ----- We survive the night and get up early in the morning, but I forgot to change the time on my mobile and we end up getting up an hour earlier than we needed to. Great. The ...

We leave our hostel at 6.30am, which involved having to wake up Meenu, who is asleep in a sun lounger blocking the door. If there was a fire she would be trampled to death, completely crushed. Surely there is a better place for her to sleep, anyway, not my concern. It takes us as long as I expected to pry ourselves away from the verbal clutches of Meenu, even at this time of the morning she is in full gear. I look at my ticket and it doesn't tell me what terminal...
