Day 50. Ubud, Bali
Well that's it, we've been turfed out of paradise. The wonderful Alam Indah had a room for us for last night only so we move to the centre of "town".
We say farewell too to Michail and Tanya who are getting married today after being together for sixteen years - the only people at the ceremony will be their two children and a friend from Singapore. Congratulations you two.
The rest of the day is spent mooching around and then in the evening we wander up to Ubud Palace to watch some traditional Balinese dancing and gamelon music (cue yawn from Dave). It is in fact mesmorising as I assured him it would be with very precise movements of every part of the body including the eyes. The costumes are pretty speccy too (that's Australian for special).
We've had some delicious Indonesian scran today too. Sluuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrppppppppp!

Hope you go for suckling pig in banana leaves; an Ubud speciality as I recall. Oh and if you go for a massage there don't be surprised if they make you take all your kit off, apparently plastic pants don't exist in Bali.
Much love,
Fi
PS. Off to Marbella to get drunk with the Rentals and some hooligans that aren't suffering from el credito crunch
