After leaving the group, I headed outside of Ubud to a tiny village nestled among the rice paddies. Of course it’s beautiful here, it’s Bali.

My room has it’s own swimming pool, with lounge chairs on their own patio.

I had read about a full day bike ride in the rural area in Lonely Planet before I left home. I thought it would be a really nice way to see a piece of real life in Bali.

I was warmly greeted by my guide (Bagi) and his son. We launched immediately upon my arrival.

We pedaled trails and tracks through jungle and neighborhoods. It was deligtful

We finished at a tiny restaurant, owned by Bagi. The food was delicious!
