Holiday shadows

Sacred Monkey Forest

Whilst in Ubud, we visited the Sacred Monkey Forest. It was great watching all the monkeys, how they interacted and played with each other. I particularly liked watching the mothers with their tiny babies, they were so caring and sweet.

On another note our friends Maria and Will leave Sydney today to move to Hamburg. We're going to miss them terribly and are very sad they are going. Maria and I got to know each other from our blogs, so thankful to have met and become such close friends.

Lunch with a view

Ubud

Polo and I had the opportunity to take a day trip to Ubud whilst we were in Bali. My sister and cousin looked after Teddy for the day. We visited some temples, looked through the market and had a relaxing lunch - pics to come. When we go back to Bali, we'd like to stay in Ubud for a few days and explore it a bit more.

Bali plant life

One of the things I adored about Bali was the beautiful tropical plant life.  

Temple by the Sea

On our way to the beautiful Rice Terraces below, our driver took us to Tanah Lot, Temple by the Sea. Sorry, no photo of the actual Temple to show you, you can see some here... There were a lot of tourists when we visited, which didn't make for the nicest experience.

Jatiluwih Rice Terraces

My sister, cousin and I went on a day trip to the Jatiluwih Rice Terraces whilst we were on holiday in Bali. I'm so glad we went and saw the beautiful, green, peaceful fields. We walked up and down the terraces, taking photos and admiring the lush and bountiful fields that you could see far into the distance.
