I had a wonderful and relaxing time in Ubud. I saw a lady who fixed my neck up, I enjoyed brekki by the pool every morning at Green Fields, I ate many great meals and generally had a good time being a tourist. Being a tourist is a strange thing to me as I usually forgo the usually tourist attractions to surf. A surf break in land in a touro hub allowed me to get out of my boardies and join the rest of the touros doing what touros do....
Brekki By the pool. Fruit, banana pancake and rich and delicious bali coffee.
Pool at Green Fields
Statue at green fields.
Jegog performance in Ubud. The large instruments are made out of big pieces of bamboo, they provide music to accompany the dancing.
The under belly of the jegogs.
I think this guy is part of the "happy rice harvest dance"
Water buffalo dancer.
Water buffalo up close.
One of these is not like the other.....it really is rediculous being a tourist sometimes!!
Me and my new balinese dancer friend!!!!
Balinese Macaques, they are apparently very successful primates.
Baby macaque.
"Official Bananas," I didn't engage in this activity of buying bananas and feeding the monkeys. I preferred to quietly stand back and do sketches of the monkeys. However, the masses of touros were really loving this strange interaction with the primates. I wasn't keen on getting that close, and have you ever seen monkey teeth? they are huge and yellow and very sharp looking.
Ubud markets. A busy place where you can buy whatever you want or "need". I didn't buy anything. But it was good to check out.
Produce at the market. The colorful baskets at the back are full of fresh flower petals, which are used for the offerings.
Presumably, the basket at the top of this womans bundle is an offering. It is really incredible the things these women can carry on their heads, and yes it is only the women.
