Day 2
We relocated to a more natury area of Bali today and I stayed at this gorgeous little forested 2 bedroom villa. Thing is, it wasn't even expensive. In Atlanta, $40/night lands you in the ghettos...or just ClayCo.
The day began with a tour of a coffee plantation. So there’s this weasel that poops coffee beans and that’s apparently the
most expensive coffee EVAR…like hundreds of dollars for a cup. Yeah, I got to taste ass coffee.
Achievement unlocked.
Then they took us up to the top of a
Balinese volcano (…ikr?!) and we ate breakfast at a restaurant overlooking the whole thing. Very nice place, but terrible breakfast.
We took a bike tour back down. So I haven’t ridden a bike in almost a decade didn’t really have the dexterity to take pics cuz I’m such a bike n00b. I was definitely the slowest one and nearly died a few times coasting down. However, the ride was fucking beautiful. Rice paddies, coconut trees, villages, temples….

Amazing Race call meeeee!! |

This kid thought I was Indonesian. When I started speaking English, he was disappoint. |
Later on I had a superb dinner at this restaurant rated highest in Bali called Bridges. It was on a bridge unsurprisingly. I was the only non-white person there besides the waitresses. I was also the only American on both the bike tour and basically anywhere else. People kept telling me that Americans are close minded and don’t travel enough. That’s when I say well, I’m not American, I’m Vietnamese.

Prosciutto something or other |

Salad. Don't judge me. |

Lob lob |

Filet mignon taken from a horrible angle |
I also went to the beach but didn’t take any pics cuz of the wetness. Beaches here are beautiful but very touristy.
Day 3
The third hotel I stayed at was balltastic, but I liked the hotel from Day 2 the best.
This morning I had an organic lunch at this one restaurant in the middle of a rice terrace. The walk there was sickeningly nice. But I figured you’d be tired of seeing rice terraces by now.

Smoothie made from REAL mango...take notes America! |
After lunch came the monkeys. And believe you me, there was a shit ton of monkeys.
