We decided not to have our driver come until after lunch so that we could walk around and see a bit more of Ubud--also, the places we wanted to see weren't too far away, so it seemed unnecessary. The entryways to so many of the houses were beautiful, with really cool statues outside of them.
We stopped at the Ubud Palace, where we got to see some young girls doing a Balinese dance. I tried to get the kids to dance with me, but they decided they'd rather watch.
For lunch, we finally got to try Balinese suckling pig.
Shae preferred the fried pig variation.
After lunch we headed to Tegenungan waterfall and played in the water for a bit.
There's nothing like a waterfall to make me miss Ithaca.
Our last stop was Tanah Lot Temple. It was a bit farther out of the way so I wasn't sure if we would get there, but I'm very glad we did. The drive there was really beautiful, as were the two temples with the ocean backdrop.
The kids didn't take long to turn the temple viewing into another swimming opportunity for them.
Then it was off to the airport.
Our flight left around 9:30 p.m. Needless to say, it did not take the kids long to crash on the airplane.
Shae stayed asleep the entire 2 hour flight, then from the flight to our taxi, and from the taxi into our apartment. He is one heavy kid.
We feel extremely blessed to have been able to take this trip to Bali, and especially since we got to go with Amelia. We sure do love seeing fun sights with her, but mostly we just love seeing her!
