We moved to Ubud on Monday to the Alaya Jembawan Hotel, close to the centre of town. Ubud is the ‘artistic heart’ in the centre of Bali, surrounded by lush green rice terraces and thick forests and deep gorges. So the view from our room has changed from sea to forest!

We have both been doing Yoga at 07h00 every morning, and had a meeting with the Ayurvedic Doctor to determine our doshas. Jocelyne is mainly Vata with a little Pitta, while I am mainly Pitta with a little Kapha. Together we make a good balance! We both chose an Abhyangam full body massage with 4 hands, which was amazing! To be recommended to everyone!
Yesterday we got up at 02:00 to climb Mount Batur to watch the sunrise! Our guide was Helen, a lovely tiny 18 year old girl who lead us up a 2 hour steep climb, over rough volcanic rock, to the summit:
We really enjoyed both the climb and the walk down, although it was tough it brought us close to nature with lovely surroundings.
Tomorrow we move to the the Hotel IBAH in Ubud, which looks very special, for 2 nights before heading to our a yoga retreat for our last week on this wonderful island of Bali.
