I got to go to a really cool school in Ubud for two days and made a new friend called Jaia! She took me to a cat cafe (cats all over the place) and a dog shelter called B.A.R.C.( BALI ADOPTION AND REHABILITATION CENTER ). At B.A.R.C there was a poor three legged dog that nobody wanted. It made me feel sad.

Dad and I went to monkey forest together. It is a beautiful monkey sanctuary/park near the center of town with over 700 monkeys free to come and go as they please.

A monkey climbed on to my head, I felt its smooth cool feet on my face as it clambered up to grab the Banana I held high.

On our way out of the park we saw a beautiful wedding couple dressed in traditional Balinese costumes.

 

Next we were off to Amed with Reno, our driver. Amed is a dry village by the sea famous for its snorkeling and diving. We stayed there for four nights spending our time snorkeling, swimming and relaxing. I love snorkeling. I forgot to mention one of the highlights of Nusa Lembongan.

Snorkeling with giant manta-rays should have been unforgettable but with all the excitement I managed to forget it until now.

On our last day in Amed we hired Motorbikes and zoomed up a very steep mountain surrounded by lush bright green paddy fields to a beautiful temple high in the clouds. Its called Pura Penataran Agung Lempuyang, very hard to pronounce.

The next day Reno picked us up from our motel at 9 am, then we said goodbye to Amed and hello to Sanur where we visited mums old friend Lisa. She is a lovely lady  one of mums good friends. She has two boys the age of three and seven. Four little boys all together , what a nightmare! After that we headed back to our beautiful private Villa where we spent our last two days relaxing, packing and collecting all our stock that we had ordered when we were last in Legian.

Then it was Bye Bye Bali and back to snowy Queenstown!
