Aplologies for the long delay – I have been cycling!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uluwatu<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After my visit to the beaches I was chatting to other travellers who where planning to go to a concert by The Wailers, Bob Marley’s band. I bought a ticket and later in the evening we went to the Ulu Cliffhouse <\/a>for the concert. It is a great venue with a big stage right on the edge of a cliff. There is only one original member of the band left but what a concert. I found my self in the mosh pit singing along with the best of them. Great evening. I know the sound is rubbish but join me at the concert. You are welcome to sing along, you know you want to!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ubud<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Monday it was time to stop playing and start cycling, after all that is why I’m here. I was hoping to dive but they were all booked up for a few days, so Bobbie and I hit the road for Ubud. It is about 45 kms North, the ride was busy through built up areas all the way. Just as I entered Ubud I was very thirsty so I stopped for a Ginger and Lime drink and met the waiter who cycles and who gave me great information. On his advice I went up to Kintamani (more of this later)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ubud is the most popular city for many reasons but spirituality and yoga attract thousands of tourists. I had to smile because many of the restaurants advertise their menus as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Vegan, Vegetarian, Non-Vegetarian”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, and to understand the psyche, see this No Parking sign outside a pub (that serves craft beer!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ubud Architchture<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The old city is built with the most interesting Balinese, Hindu architecture. All of the houses have their own large central area and temple. The Vintage Sunshine House ( now backpacker hostel) that I stayed in was a perfect example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
