Rice fields, temples and white water rafting in Ubud

Since we got back from the volcano trip before 11am, we still had a full day left, so after trying to have a nap, Jodie and Mel from Manchester and I went for a 3rd breakfast!

We got a taxi to the bigger of the rice fields around Ubud, Bali. The rice fields were beautiful. They look like hills with a stair like formation, and dug out trenches were the rice is. They are the most amazing green colour.

We walked along the terraces. There was a woman who was trying to charge us extra even though we'd already paid!

Once we'd had a wonder round, we made our way back to the town. We had a look around a temple and then went to the market.

We spent the evening in a pretty cool reggae bar and finally after our long day, went to bed.

The next day we went white water rafting, a little way out from Ubud. The area was amazing- we had to walk through some rice fields to get there. The river ran through the jungle, and past waterfalls. It was so much fun!

When we got stuck on rocks we had to shake the boat to free ourselves, and we had to hold the sides tight as we went throught the rapids. There was one drop where I had to lie right back in the boat.

We all went for a posh meal in the evening, and after deciding I didn't want to get the 7am boat the next day, had a nice chilled day.
