Dinner at Greek restaurant in Germany. Confused & didn't know what we were ordering but was tasty when it arrived! tongue

Messing about in a German Ikea. Could we live in a 55m² apartment? Yes, as long as we don't have too many pillows! wink

12:35

Passing through Speyer so stopped for quick walk. There's a huge Cathedral here but it's quite plain inside.

Looking at Pratiwi was a bit hot arriving at Maya Ubud! Thankful for an upgrade w/private plunge pool. Ah... cooling!

06:40

Up early to visit Ubud market before tourist trash comes out. Priorities for Pratiwi though: breakie like a local!

19:20

Time for dessert: pisang goreng cooked on the street. Yum! Look at the size of that wok, think this is popular stuff!

16:10

Arrived at Tegalalang to see rice terraces. Sadly clouds had other ideas, so nothing for it but to eat more pork! wink

08:10

Back down by the lake this morning. I dragged Pratiwi along this time. But then again, sun is up so not that early wink

15:35

Either Pratiwi has shrunk or accommodation today is slightly oversized! wink And wait 'til you see the view! Love it!

They grow a lot of fruit around Malang, so we visited an Orchard. As you do. There were apples here & everything! wink
