*This flower was everywhere! Shops would sell it too as hair accessories, so I assumed it was their national/local flower. When I asked Made though, he said they didn't have one. Google confirms it IS frangipani - I'm confused now but in any case, very pretty!

| Our home in Ubud |
Our room was a loft, with a spacious sitting and lounging area out front, overlooking rice paddies. When you enter, the first thing you see is the sink and the bathroom, which is designed to give you the feeling of showering outdoors: stone walls complete with moss and little plant life, see-through roofing that lets the sunshine (and rain, thanks to one cut-out square) in, and pebbled flooring, good for avoiding nasty slips.

| Room amenities |
To get to the room, you have to go up a flight of stairs, which I thought was cumbersome, especially if you find you need to pee at night. Also, because of the "open" way the bathroom was constructed, we could hear our next-door neighbors showering or (worse) pooping! Haha! All this was fine, thanks to free wi-fi!
Breakfast choices were limited to Western (pancakes / toast / pastry with eggs, coffee or tea) or local (fried rice with egg, fried noodles - like pansit, or fried noodle-rice...which turned out to be bihon!), both choices come with orange juice and a fresh fruit platter of bananas, watermelon, and melon. On the first morning, I chose something curiously called "jaffle" - which was like empanada filled with crushed banana. Fried noodles for me the next day! :-)

The location was good though, since we could walk outside to restaurants or convenience stores. The roads in Ubud though are quite narrow, so be careful unless you want to be run over by super speedy motorcycles!
Too bad I wasn't able to try their spa service, but the amenities look promising.

More Bali posts to come! :-)
