We also liked the small village, and we used several days exploring the villages around as well. Nico really like walking, so when I asked him what he wanted to do one day he wanted to go for a walk. I was ready for a day on the beach, but we all need to use our bodies so we went with his suggestion (see post on Instagram). One day we rented a scooter and drove south until there were no more villages on the Amed coast to explore. Our conclusion after seeing all the villages along the Amed coast is that Lipah has the best beach, and offer good snorkeling - you can't go into the water without seeing fish :) - and it's quiet and nice as well.
JT got two best friends while walking along the beach in Lean.

Lisbeth, a fellow Kundalini Yoga Teacher, was going to Ubud with a group from Norway, so we decided to leave Lipah and go to Ubud to see her. We stayed in the middle of Ubud, and I can tell you there's no peace and quiet there. There's so much traffic and noise so this is not how you might picture this very yogic place.
Lisbeth was smart enough to stay a little outside of the centre and there it was so nice and quiet among the rice fields. We went there on our second day in Ubud and Nico and I joined in on some yoga. That was exactly what I needed after busy Ubud.
The first day in Ubud we went to The Sacred Monkey Forest. Here we met another Norwegian family that was traveling the world with their daughter. Nico and Linnea hit it off and ran around taking pictures of all the monkeys.
The door knob in our room :) haha
We decided to come visit our new Norwegian friends at their hotel the next day so the kids could play in their pool. So before going to meet Lisbeth we went swimming with them, and after yoga we met up again for dinner. Our third day we met our new Norwegian friends again and went to the Ubud Market - I bought pants and a dress :) - before lunch and more swimming in their pool. The next day they left for Gili Air and we were also more than ready to leave the hyped up Ubud.
So yesterday we arrived in Munduk. It's so nice and quiet here and the nature is so beautiful. Our view is breathtaking :)
Today we went for a loooong walk among rice fields and ended up in the Gobleg, the next village. Because it was all up hill to get back home we got a hike with two scooters (and my feet are so happy we did).
This would have been such a nice picture, but the sad truth is that there's so much garbage :'(
After three nights here we'll head up to the north coast of Bali.
Live life and love it <3
