We flew into Ngurah Rai International Airport landing at 1100 and met with our taxi at the airport that took us to our AirBnB located in the busy Seminyak.  We were met by the lovely host with welcome drinks and a quick tour of the villa. Once settled in we went for a look about to get our bearings stopping off at a local restaurant for a drink.  We opted to Motel Mexicola for dinner in the evening, thoroughly recommend, the staff were amazing and very helpful.  The food very tasty and atmosphere buzzing.

We ventured to Potatohead Beach club for the day, we booked ahead to ensure that we got a day bed.  The cost of which was put as credit to the resaurant and bar bill.  Very enjoyable and releaxing day with a great variety of cocktails and food.

Today we took a walk around Seminyak stopping for a massage and investigating the local shops and beach.

Off to Nusa Penida today.  We booked the tour with Panca at Bali Customized tours who we recomend booking though.  We were met at our AirBnB by Panca who drove us to the ferry port in Denpasar for the 0800 speed boat to Nusa Penida.  We vistited Klingking beach, Broken beach, Angel Billabong and Crystal bay with a stop for lunch before returning back to the speedboat for the late afternoon return trip.

Nice day relaxing by the villa pool and poped out for a local massage.

Popped into Seminyak for our last day in the area. checked out the local markets and cooking classes.  We had the best ribs from Warung Nia, its a must visit.

We poped over to Kynd Cafe for breakfast before checking out of our Seminyak villa traveling 1.5 hours up to Ubud in the centre of Bali.

Elephants

We hired Mopeds and drove into one of the most popular things to do in Ubud the Monkey Forest. Inside the center of town is a beautiful park, without a fence where loads of monkeys spend the majority of their day. And even if you don’t like to see the monkeys, the park itself is a big rainforest and a beautiful walk that lets you escape the hussle and bussle of town life.

Ubud Monkey Forest is founded, and preserved, based on ancient Hindu principles. These principles aim for people to live in harmony with their environment and the nature around them. For approximately 700 monkeys this is an essential sanctuary but it also has important spiritual significance for the local people.

Sunrise Trekking with Bali Customized Tours to see the beautiful sunrise from the top of Mount Batur.

Mount Batur is an active volcano located at the center of two concentric calderas north west of Mount Agung Bali. The south east side of the larger 10×13 km caldera contains a caldera lake. The inner 7.5-kilometer-wide caldera, which was formed during emplacement of the Bali, has been dated at about 23,670 and 28,500 years ago.

The trek took about 1.5 hours from the slopes of the mountain to the top, where we could see the view of the sunrise and the Lombok island in the distance whist enjoying a hot coffee and breakfast.

The caldera is populated and includes the four main villages of Kedisan, Songan, Trunyan and Toya Bungkah. The locals largely rely on agriculture for income but tourism has become increasingly popular due to the relatively straightforward trek to the summit of the central crater.

We drove to Tegalalang Rice Terraces, one of the famous tourist objects in Bali situated in Tegalalang Village north of Ubud Bali featured by the amazing rice terrace set the cliff. Tegalalang Village is located on 600 m above sea levels covered by good temperature where most of the villagers as a farmer.
