Somebody has to work, so Caecil and Tabita returned to Jakarta today. Uno, Mette, and I continued to Gili Trawangan, Lombok. We were picked up at the hotel in the morning, and arrived with fast boat at Trawangan a few hours later.
Uno and Mette are staying at Villa Grasia, while I chose to stay at the more economical Karma Kayak, 250 meter away.

More walking, and this time we concentrated on downtown Ubud. Lunch at Ibu Oka. Dinner at Casaluna, where there was live music.
Proud owners of a new pig, which supposedly is from East Java. It was bought at the shop next to Casaluna.

Long walk in the countryside near Ubud today (Ayung valley), around 11 km, plus 3 km with a minibus that we hailed down on the street.
Lunch at Amandari. It has a nice view of the valley and river below.
Caecil and Tabita didn’t join us on this walk.
Gasoline for sale.

30 September.
Caecil, Tabita, and I flew to Bali today and joined Uno and Mette in Ubud, where we are all staying at a place called Y Resort. Sleazy owner of several hotels got us tricked into this place, even though we had a booking for another of his hotels.
We had a walk in downtown Ubud, where Uno purchased a newspaper from a street vendor for Rp 90,000 (USD 10). Uno probably thought that was a fair price to pay.
We have a rented car during our stay here (rented from the same guy as last time).
Meal in downtown Ubud.
