We set out on the main Ubud rice paddy walk early in the day - on the Jl Subak Sok Wayah track winding past Cafe Pomegranate (and the once iconic but now closed Sari Organic Cafe!!) and the Rice Jogolo ......
We were struck by how much development there had been on this track over the past four years or so - new villas, new cafes, new shops, all serviced by a narrow walking/scooter track. It was way too busy with passing scooter traffic to really feel at one with nature like the old days unfortunately, even though the surrounding fields of rice and the resident duck populations are just as beautiful as ever.
Luckily the Cafe Pomegranate stop for a cold drink overlooking the rice fields is as good as it ever was!
We walked around 7 klms this morning - and all before breakfast - so we treated ourselves to a full menu brunch at Cinta Grill after our walk. I ordered my first flat white coffee in a week - and it was so GOOOOD......
Cinta Grill is definitely the best big breakfast cafe option in town: coffees, juices, house made granola, yoghurt, smashed avocado, eggs benny, pesto ....... everything on offer, and all very good!!
It was midday by the time we got back to Cendana - time to admire the latest towel art from housekeeping. This is the best one yet!!
We spent the afternoon in and around the pool and reading and relaxing, ending the day with another beautiful meal at Three Monkeys Cafe. After a week in Ubud we have a nice little holiday routine going.
