To the interior

We have moved from Sanur to Ubud, in the Balinese jungle. Verdant and steeped in history, Ubud is also rife with western yogis and older hippies in Simple shoe.
I wouldn't have thought that traveling away from the beach would result in a louder, higher intensity experience, but there are more busses, tourists, touts and temples in Ubud than Sanur, by far. Perhaps that impression is exacerbated by the fact that we lounged by our pool in Sanur most days, teaching The Boy to swim.
We are in a lovely cottage in the woods and just off the beaten track in Ubud - our own slice of jungle life. I'd show you a photo of the frog that guards the pool at night, but it's terribly grainy. Here instead is a photo of a place we were unable to stay at in Sanur.
