Day 51 Ubud, Bali.





We've done enough loafing around for a couple of days so it's time to get active. And no better way than going for a 40km bike ride under the supervision of our friendly guide Made. Blimey - 40 kilometres.

We drive up to the largest active volcano in Bali and then freewheel all the way back into Ubud over the course of about 4 hours passing through villages and rice fields and taking in the odd temple along the way. It's a fab way of getting off the beaten track and we're joined by Tanya (who was married yesterday), her son Dylan, their friend Debra from Singpaore (and for those of you in advertising, Debra is in new business for BBH Singapore - nice!) and last but not least two very jovial Belgians Kris and Yanik. A merry band indeed and a good time is had by all, not least because we all tuck into a stonking three course lunch and ice cold Bintang (Indonesian beer) when we reach base camp.

Thanks you lot for a great day.
