Scenic Tag 80

As announced, we chose the accommodation where we are currently staying based on whether breakfast is included. So we sit under a kind of pavilion in the courtyard around 10:00 am, on seat cushions, and tell a very nice employee our order. You can choose between toast, omelette, noodles, and pancake. It's absolutely fine and the coffee is also good!

We are well fortified today and have decided to give the city a second chance and search for beautiful places more specifically. Our choice is a hiking trail along a river that starts in Ubud and leads out of the city.

After not even 15 minutes, we are standing in front of a sign that marks the beginning of the path. You can already imagine how worthwhile it could be.

Within a few meters, you feel completely out of the city. You walk on a kind of hill ridge, with river valleys on the left and right of you. Everything is incredibly green. We were already prepared by reports on the internet that we would not be the only ones walking this path. You make arrangements; besides, the view more than compensates for everything.

We arrive in a small village and take a break there to have a drink. Everywhere you look, there are small, beautifully decorated offerings placed on the street - just like everywhere in Indonesia!
Then we continue hiking along a country road; crossing a bridge (under which there is about 30 meters down), and slowly but surely coming back near our starting point.
