Still on the road

Day 3 of our awesome car trip :)

As Betty mentioned in the last post we are set to go and look at the monkey forest this weary morning. The monkey forest is in the middle of Ubud and actually the city has been build around it. The two main streets end up at the monkey forest and as we found at yesterday is one way driven. Not that nice when u are the asshole that is cruising on the wrong side now is it ?? Specially when everybody is laughing at u! People just pointing and yelling stuff to u as we drove down the road. But we managed. :) Not our fault but but. And have to say that I (Julian) kind of lost it yesterday, got really pissed off cause the rain, bad driving, and stupid motor bikers. hehe Anyway, the hotel that we had where awesome with tv, huge ass double bed and I bath tub that u actually could see where white. :) First time for us on this journey. hehe Wish I could say that this where the place where Julia Roberts stayed but sorry... We only saw Eva Longoria. :) Not really but it made u little bit more interested didn't it ???

So we got this great breakfast consisting of french toast and egg :) mhmhmh And when we asked the receptionist, we found out that the monkey forest where a 2 min walk to the right of the door. Beautiful we thought and walked happily ever after. So we arrived to the sight, and realized that there where nobody there, but the sight was open. So no entrance fee :)(hahahaha) but this lady ripped us of when we both bananas. 4000 rp for 3 bananas. Damn :( that's a stiff prize. Inside we where walking around when I realized that Bettina was commando under her shirt (meaning no bra). One of the monkeys that where eager for her bracelet jumped all over her and made her shirt fell down so she where standing there with a monkey, topless. :) Priceless sight...... (They teach the monkeys good nowadays)

hehe. Other then that the monkey forest was okey, pretty much half of the sight in there (main building, pray area) where closed but we saw the idea from outside so that was fine. First time we have ever seen a monkey graveyard though. Anyone seen that ?? After about 1 hour walk around we went back to the hotel, just to get the stuff and jump in the car again. Our awesome car. :)

The first stage of today's car driving where a short one and easy to navigate. We drove about 50 min and then we arrived at the next site witch was the Goa Gajah (elephant cave). There where also no people so our timing lately have been right on the spot. (avoid all the heavy tourist loads that arrives in buses). And only some of the local stands had opened, and of course came to the car trying to sell something to us. Bracelet, hand made statues of random things and so on. At first we where wondering why the 4 other guys at the sight where wearing skirts, but u actually need to hide your knees at the sight. Its crazy I know but true. But I didn't need one, cause I still where baggy shorts. So mom, grandma and all of u baggy haters, there is now one place on earth u really need it. :) We where for about 10 min wondering about why they call it the elephant cave since it definitely don't fit a elephant in the cave. But non there less, we explored the cave and the sight and found it nice. Specially since we got to do some hiking, there where this track that went into the jungle and we just followed the road. (Without a guide) hehe. But after about 15 min we stopped and walked back to the elephant cave again, since we didn't know where this path might lead us. So when we came back to the entrance area we saw that there where this tattooed guys walking around with a huge snake. (BTW I (Julian) really don't like snakes) But of cause Betty wanted to hold it and pet with it for a wile so I had to stay around and take pictures.

Alright the snake looked kind of harmless chilling around Betty's neck and she looked like she where enjoining it. Feel it, its like a plastic bag. U should hold it after me. And she even convinced some of the older ladies that had gathered as a group around her. :) nice pics I have to admit.

So from the Elephant cave the trip went towards the high way and the east coast of Bali. :) We had a quick stop at some surf place but there where noting there at the moment accept some people just hanging around. Locals who eat and lived their life. So we decided to head for Nosa Dua, witch is in the the south cost. We where set to stay there but we only found hotels/ hostels that where so god dame expansive. Like four seasons where one room (cheapest one) where sold for 680 USD. hmm, We where little bit embarrased to be there but we simply just said no thank u and asked where the whey for the beach where. So we ended up driving back to Kuta and our AP Inn hotel that we know are a good money hotel even though the staff is a bit off. :) (nice way of saying stupid wasn't?)

So now we are here in Kuta again and today we will just relax and go out to see a movie and have some good food. :) Maby today we will have a couple of drinks and go over to Legian to party a bit. But lets see, know for sure that I am not driving again for a while. :) hehe

Hope u all are having some fun cause now we are. And now we are off to see a movie. Maybe a new one with Adam Sandler. hehe
If any questions about the trip, just ask us.
Lets talk some more later. Adios.
Take care guys :)
