It was a tough day. We had absolutely nothing planned today except a massage and lunch. We wanted to just enjoy our place here.
We got up when we wanted and had breakfast in our individual units. We essentially lazed around until noon, when it was time for Gerard and I to go to the spa for our free massages.
Here's Gerard's feet in a wooden bucket with flower petals and whatever other oils and fragrances were in the water. That was the start.
This was our massage room, with trickling water the whole time. And while lying face down, we were looking at another bucket of water, similar to the red and white petals seen in the above photo.
These were our 2 masseuses. I had the one on the right and both delivered hard massages. They were up on the table behind us and we're sure they were using their elbows in spots. But it was wonderful.
After showering the oil off, we met up with Dan & Joanne and headed out to lunch at The Melting Wok. It's a highly rated little restaurant in Ubud, only about 7 tables, owned by a Laotian chef, and his wife, who is French. Delicious meals...and other stuff too.
We went our separate ways to do a bit of shopping. Here's Gerard putting his change back in his wallet - at least he had change.
Around 6 pm, we went over to Dan & Joanne's place for a drink. Nice, eh?
This is their plunge pool from the side.
We also had some nibblies delivered. They come in these baskets with lids that these jokers thought were hats!
This tree is in their yard. The fruit, called Bila, hangs from the tree trunk and limbs. Looks funny.
Then we went out for just a couple of appetizers. Because we had eaten so late, none of us were very hungry. The end of a really tough day.
