First day on this famous island of Bali. Famous for the reasons already mentioned in the previous post, I was eager to visit, maybe this blue sky like I haven't had the opportunity to see much until now makes me thirsty to move. If Jitima got up as usual rather early, I really needed to rest and allowed myself a little lie-in (finally!)
Atmosphere in Ubud
In Ubud the atmosphere is completely different from Java, “touristy”, with its drawbacks like these taxi drivers who will systematically ask you “taxi, taxi?” Come on, be serious gentlemen, if I want a taxi, I ask, what’s the point of that honestly…
Let's be honest, it was better to take it lightly otherwise it would have become really heavy. In any case, we will also see the difference with the Balinese compared to the Javanese, the relationships become more "Thai" (without wanting to generalize too much either),
namely a friendly smile where the wallet is your mutual friend.
I'll let you imagine the scene, woken up early in the morning by the work just above our heads, how could they dare to rent these rooms with such a construction site in progress?? By the way the hot water didn't work, apparently only the gas needed changing (having reported it to a guy from the staff they came to check but in the end nothing was done...) We still held out for 3 nights before deciding to move elsewhere... (if it had been good we had the idea of staying in the same place for our entire stay in Bali, too bad...)
Ubud Market Stroll
Accustomed to spicy and hot dishes in Thailand, everything seems bland here, except foreign food, which is a shame, a good steak and chips is not available here, I was also able to eat delicious pasta, specifically in Thailand where foreign dishes are often "in their own sauce", namely sweet... After that we gently digested a little before heading quietly to the show 200m further.
