Ugh. Just pulled an all day transit session. Such days always leave me flubber-blasted. Woke up early morn on the river, chugged our way to the docks at Kumai, a harrowing taxi ride through the rough streets of Kalimantan. Shitty airport in P.Bun, cramped quarters aboard KalStar, confusing hussle through user unfriendly Soekarno-Hatta International in muggy ass Jakarta. Flight over Java where popcorn clouds drape majestic volcanoes. Sun sinks low as we approach Bali. Butter popcorn clouds. Taxi to Ubud (Oo-Boo'd) in hot Bali night. A riviting statue of Arjuna driving his chariot and horses. His opponent, a frightening demon looms menacingly, clawed feet grasping horses heads.
All the way up to Ubud stone carver studio workshops abound. How can so many remain competitive? Who needs all those sculptures?
Chuck an I luck out. A gorgeous hotel has a double room available. We splurge a bit so my poor brother can rest. He's been spewing fluids out his nether end. I ramble around the city at night. Too dark for photography but holy shit there's a ton of fly Hindu architecture. Sweet cafés abound that appeal to the plethora of tourists. Too many honkies. I am excited to explore tomorrow but exhausted from the day's displacement. Once more to bed, my dear brothers, once more.
