In Ubud we dined at the Lotus restaurant. The food was excellent and the dining area overlooked a large pond and temple. Everywhere we have eaten the costs have been huge...roughly around 90,000 Rupia for two. That is about $9. Australian!
This is the hot season here and there are not many Australian tourists about. We have observed large groups of Dutch, some Germans and Russians; French and Spanish, plus a few languages/nationalities which escape identification.
Tomorrow we are off to Legian where cousin Val hopes to buy some fabrics. I have ordered a pair of trousers from a small tailor shop near our hotel. I will also try on some inexpensive trousers at the local supermarket, Hardy’s and get them shortened by the tailor who is making my trousers.
Our hotel is comfortable, but on closer looks it is shoddily built. We bought the cheap holiday, so we cannot complain. Next time I will pay the extra and go upmarket.
Some pics of the tradesman standards...
We had a very nice snack meal at a tavern near Hardy's Dept store. It is owned by a Dutch national and has some smart notices on the walls.

Kev, the lotus restaurant brings back great memories, I love Ubud as you know. Had and I stayed there many times but Had was always drawn back to Sanur and the beach, We have had 4 days of 40 degree heat, No cool breeze at night. It's hell. At least you can sit by the ocean and you have a pool. I believe the Bonsai cafe has gone from Sanur. Enjoy yourselves while we swelter in this heat.Joy and I saw the movie Quartet the other day I give it 10 out of 1o, See it you can get a copy of it. Is the Besakih booked out by the Dutch? Marg
