Today I flew from Cairns International Airport to Despensar Airport, Bali. The decision to make this trip came about pretty quickly when my friend Donna and I were planning on visiting The Northern Territory and realised it was cheaper (by a lot) to fly to Bali for a week instead so here I am! I flew out this morning (Friday morning) and Donna is due to join me on Sunday.
I was collected at the airport by my driver Adi from @booktravelinbali on Instagram. And as we began the journey to my accommodation in Ubud, I received a text from the hotel saying there had been an issue with the water in my room and they had rescheduled my booking to another accommodation. So while we were waiting for the confirmation Adi look me to the Tegalalang Rice Terrance Swing where I was able to don one of the icon dresses and experience the swing over the rice fields. After exploring this and being awake for 16 hours already and not a lot of sleep, Adi took me to my accommodation (a nightmare journey because we couldn’t find it initially) but it was a beautiful, tranquil villa outside Ubud town.
