Ubud, Bali

So, this is just an out of time sequence entry for the sake of posting something.

We saw some Kecak last night in Ubud. It was really fun.

Ended up getting about 15 minutes of sleep and then went on this climb up one of the active volcanoes. It wasn't the really big one but it was big enough. I don't know what the fuck I was thinking. I was wearing fucking sandals. It ended up being fine, but I was ill prepared. The weather sucked too. It meant that the whole point of not sleeping and heading out to this place at 3 in the morning, which was to see the sunrise over the entire island, was completely invalidated. At the top of the volcano there was nothing but clouds. Supposedly they were supposed to burn away when the sun came up, but it was just grey and freezing cold. There were some monkeys though. Our guide was a nice guy. I think he felt bad that we were kind of cheated out of the this really incredible view we had suffered through this climb for. He had hyped it big time. So he showed us around the country side a little and explained to us some of Balinese culture. I'm sad to say that I was so tired couldn't even really appreciate it, although I did get some nice pictures of rice fields.
