Thanks to Lois, we were able to get a driver to take us to Ubud and check out the scene.
Where Lois stays is in Depansar, which is close to the airport and more towards the south of the island.

on our way to the temple, we coincidentally ran into Doug and Karolina!!!

another early morning to get things rolling.

went over towards the hotel where Jules was staying at around 5:15
and once i got there, we got on a car provided by the organizers of the namaste festival.

i was just amazed how there was no traffic at this time.
the whole time i was in jakarta, all I saw was really bad traffic and so many vehicles on the road. but not this morning! 🙂

got to the airport super early.
too early that we had to wait quite a bit at the airport.
got ourselves some food.

2013 12 02 06 43 46

veggie fried rice.

got on the AirAsia.
LCC Jakarta to Bali $70 thats a pretty nice deal…

quick ride

2013 12 02 11 31 39

mysterious bike at the runway…

and here we are…
in BALI!!!

first time for both of us and we are quite excited!!!

there was someone who came to pick us up and was dropped off at Lois’ house.

Lois is a Jivamukti teacher and an amazing holy being who has been living in Indonesia for more than 20 years.

the pool in the house!!!

there is a person by the name of Ayu who cooks the most delicious vegan meals.

this is what our lunch looked like.

2013 12 02 12 32 54

it was sooooo good.
i don’t know if i can leave bali…

also there is another guest in the house.

meet frisky.

adorable fellow…

we just relaxed on the first day.

on that evening.
Ayu made us some dinner.

i have to say the tempeh was the best tasting tempeh i have ever had.

it made me question all the tempeh that i had in the past…

its all about coming to the source.

i’ve been loving Bali so far.
can’t wait to see what it has to offer…

The first day of Namaste Festival!

But before heading out the venue, thought it might be nice to check out the vegan scene out here.

ended up going to Loving hut near the Sultan Hotel where the event was being held.
