Ps: This post is a continuation of “Ubud- A dream and a nightmare” As we arrived at the villa gate, we both took a breath of relief in hopes that we were going to be safe now. We walked into the villa, only to find it empty. I quickly dashed to our room as David…

Ubud – a dream and a nightmare
Travelling in South Asia definitely has it’s perks but it also has it’s down sides. I thought it would be smooth sailing after the time share experience we had in Kuta. Oh what a dreamer I am! The rest of our time in Kuta was definitely smoother. We explored some of southern Bali by scooter,…
Rough start in Bali
