Bali · 8 nights

Terraces, Temples, Cliffs

The journey.

Landing and driving straight up to Ubud, away from the airport strip. The temperature drops as the road climbs into the rice terraces.

Tirta Empul at opening, with the queue of Balinese waiting to bathe rather than tourists, then the terraces before the coaches.

A free day. Ubud is for slowing down rather than seeing things, and the valley from your own terrace is most of the point.

Mount Batur at six in the morning above the cloud if you want it, or the art villages if you do not.

Down to the south coast where the island turns dramatic, and the Kecak dance at Uluwatu with the sun going down behind it.

A free day for the beach clubs at the bottom of a hundred steps, the surf, or the pool.

The Indian Ocean from a cliff, doing absolutely nothing. The day that justifies coming this far.

One more sunset from the same spot as the first. Nothing scheduled and a late checkout arranged.

A last coffee before the airport, which is twenty minutes away.
