It’s a new day and I’m sicker than a dog but we won’t go there.  Chris got up at 4am to check out the Ubud market.  Remember, I talked about it a couple of days ago, the large 2 story structure with all the craft stalls.  Well, every morning starting at 4am the craft booths are replaced by food booths and all the locals go to the market to do their grocery shopping.  Then by 9am the food disappears and the crafts fill their place, ready for the tourists.  Chris said it was pretty wild with lots of fruit, vegees, and chickens in cages.

At 11am our new driver arrived to take us to our next “home” Bali Eco Stay.

It was a very long drive up into the mountains.  After the hustle and bustle of Ubud, Bali Eco Stay was all the peace, tranquility and harmony with nature that we had imagined Bali to be.

Our bungalow is right on the creek and the “windows” are all open to the dense vegetation all around us.

This was all so beautiful and the crazy thing was was that I booked the honeymoon package and poor Chris had to enjoy all the amenities by himself while I tried to sleep off my bug.  But what a wonderful place to be sick.  The staff was always asking how I was feeling.  They even fixed toast for me to eat.

We were there for 3 days.  Chris did a lot of walking and by the last day I was feeling pretty good.  On our last night they fixed us a special “honeymoon” dinner which was served in our own private dining area downstairs.

Look at our beautiful feast, so colorful, and my favorite palm frond dishes.

Oh, I forgot to mention, I did make it to the couples massage which was very nice.
