Bali Fish Spa

Breakfast at the hotel

After spending the day looking at temples, Allan and I were more than happy to have no plans the next day. After breakfast, we left the hotel and started walking.  After we'd been walking for about 20 minutes, we were by Monkey Forest.  And since it was early the monkeys are really on the hunt for food.  I noticed a monkey circling me and before I knew what was happening, it was running at me full-steam and started to climb my leg.  I realized after this that he was trying to steal what I'd been swinging in my hands (a water bottle) so I gladly gave it to him before he infected me with rabies.... Ha.

Walking we did.   In fact before we noticed,  we'd walked circles around Ubud.  And, man, our feet were sore.  What better thing to do than try a fish spa.  Yes, you definitely heard me right.  We decided to have little fish nibble our feet to remove all the calluses we got from walking around.

The nibbling complete, Allan and I continued our hike to find Naughty Nuri's Warung.  For those that know me well, you're well aware of my obsession with pork ribs and BBQ sauce.  Naughty Nuri's is an infamous rib shack in Ubud.  I've been dreaming of these ribs for months and we HAD to find it while out trekking.

Find it we did.  Outside the warung, Nuri was operating the famous grill.  I don't think I've ever been more excited to see smoking meat.  Allan and I grabbed a seat and promptly ordered our ribs.

Lunch time.... Look at those ribs

The ribs were amazing!  Oh what succulent sauce.... And for only $8.  You really can't go wrong.  After eating, we made our way back to the hotel for a swim and some beers.  We then got ready and made our way to a mexican place for dinner called Taco Casa.  Cheap, fast and awesome.  We ordered nacho grande, tacos with chicken, a large Bintang and a margarita for under $16.  God I love Bali.
