I’ve stumbled up on a really lovely little place to stay here. And, I’m leaving tomorrow.
This is a huge room, comfortable, full size sofa, two veranda’s, lots of space and centrally located close to everyone thing I want. So why am I leaving?
Focus is the best word I can come up with. I want a few days in a quieter location, more isolated and natural, to write and do some work that I intend to massage on this trip. I found what I believe will be a great place!
I looked at a number of spots. When I walked into this one, that feeling of ease and lightness was very strong. The woman helping me took me to a very quiet room facing remaining forest and rice fields here. Perfect!
I’m planning on coming back to this place before I leave Ubud and have booked my last week here hoping I get the same room! Wayan Johnny knows I like this room so he’ll try to keep it for me.
Healing and resting!
After stopping to see Nyoman to say good night and having him get all excited about continuing the work he did last night, I was off early this morning to see Eddy.
Several photo’s of Nyoman and his grand daughter Putu below along with a photo in Eddy’s office and Wayan with me.
Eddy worked me over really well! He’s an amazing reflexologist!
Typical local lunch
On my way home, I stopped for coffee with Iwan. He has a manual espresso maker and it was really good. He’d just roasted two different batches of beans, one for pour over and one for espresso. Yum!
My little local warung wasn’t open yet so I headed to another. This is what a 35,000 Rp ($2.60 US) lunch looks like! Lumpia and me goreng both with peanut sauce.
Back at my room relaxing, I realized how much healing work I’ve had done lately! Since arriving I’ve had a massage, two healing sessions with Nyoman and the treatment from Eddy today. I laid down to rest feeling so happy that I chose to come here and take care of myself!
While it will be sad to leave tomorrow, I’m happy to have found this place and happy to go hibernate and bit and sort some things out. Maybe I’ll get there and simply feel like reading or watching movies which is fine. I am creating the space if it feels right to explore some of the online possibilities I’ve been attracted to.
Today was a national holidays, no school. At 6:30, kids were gathering the street, finding friends, and making plans for the day. I took a few photo’s of the area around the family compound here.
Enjoy!
