Bali: Part 2

ok, deep breath...
Wednesday we had planned on going to this safari place, but Justin wasn't feeling well and he had really wanted to go. Maria finally called and came up with a plan for us. She's Indonesian so it was helpful to have someone who could somewhat speak the language. She got us a driver who would take us around all day for like only $30. First we went to take pictures out by some rice patties. It was really beautiful with all the green. We get a little nature-deprived in Korea sometimes. We stopped at a cute little place to have lunch. I had mie goreng ayam, which is fried noodles with chicken (ayam), vegetables, and egg. It was really good. After lunch, we went to a place called Tanah Lot, which was a temple out at the water. It was really beautiful, but we were kinda in a hurry cause we wanted to drive somewhere else to see the sunset and watch a traditional dance. We really were chasing the sun. We got there just in time to see the sunset. We watched the dance afterwards. It was basically a love triangle story. I took some videos which I will post on facebook later. After that, we went to another beach for a few minutes, then back to the hotel to get ready for dinner. We had a really late dinner. Abby got to the hotel shortly after we got back, and then it was time for bed.
Thursday, we woke up early again and met Maria for breakfast at a pancake place called Flapjacks. The food was good, but I'm not sure it was worthy of being our most expensive meal in Bali. After breakfast, we went out to the beach for a while, then back to the hotel to get ready to go to a monkey place. The monkey place was amazing. There were monkeys everywhere. The baby monkeys were soooooooooo cute. We stocked up on bananas on the way in. The monkeys would take them right out of your hands. Abby was holding a big bunch of bananas and the monkeys kept jumping all over her. One even bit her face. Luckily it didn't break the skin. After the monkey place, we stopped for lunch at a little place overlooking the rice patties. It was really nice. I had nasi goreng, which is basically the same as mie goreng except rice instead of noodles. After lunch we wanted to go silver shopping, but the place where our driver took us was really expensive, so we headed back to the hotel. Later we went out for cheap $5 massages then dinner at Sky Garden again. I split lasagna and a fajita wrap with Abby.
Ahhhhhh I'm so tired. I guess this is gonna be a trilogy. Good night guys!
