we landed in denpasar at about midnight. finn and freya were both great on the plane (much to my relief! i always feel a little anxious leading up to a plane trip with small kids). finn actually asked halfway through the flight, 'when are we going on the plane?'
getting through customs and out of the terminal at denpasar airport is somehting i am pretty used and it is all quite familiar. however, to the kids, particularly finmn, i think it was a little overwhelming. the heat, the smells, the people looking different... as we got into the taxi, he asked if we could go home... anyway, it took a few days for him to get used to this but now he is in the swing of things.
we have been doing alotr of rice paddy walks, walking into ubud and even braved seminyak. all in all it has been super fun...
this is the first morning we were at the house....
this is the view from our verandah...
finn just chilling out, recovering from the long journey from melbourne to ubud...
finn and freya sharing a drink at sari organik - a gorgeous restaurant out the back of ubud in the middle of the rice paddies...
we walked through the monkey forest in ubud. i really didn't like the monkeys there, they are super ferocious! finn and freya seemed to think it was pretty exciting though....
finn is cautiously approaching the monkey on the ledge, just to the right....
finn practising riding a motor bike (a skill he will be allowed to master in about 25 years....)
one of our balinese friends bought these pyjamas for the kids so they could look more like locals - it seemed to do the trick..
finn has taken a liking to photography and took this photo - it is on the walk into ubud
this morning, finn plucked up the courage to venture into the local kinder. although neither of us could understand a word, we both really enjoyed it and will go back in a few days!
all is good xx
