Honeymoon: Day 4 - Can Rice Really Be Beautiful

On Day 4 we decided to try one of the nearby walks we'd heard about (and read about in the guide book). Just behind our hotel Ibah was a path that started at the village's local temple and continued on along the ridge between two small rivers. We walked and walked, and got pretty sweaty. Eventually we found an oasis of a hotel that offered food and we enjoyed a milkshake (we love Balinese milkshakes!) and something called a jaffle - basically a pressed sandwich. And then we walked some more, meeting artists and cruising through a village. Hours later we were still walking but very happy because the zen of rice had us in a trance.






The walk ended up being a bit longer than we anticipated so the rest of the day was spent by the pool. Eventually we ventured out for dinner. And the lights went out. We heard the power was out throughout all of Bali. It was a fun, crazy experience.
