Our 2nd day begin with a lovely breafast by Munari Resort
You can order anything you want from the menu
and i choosed something different from usual
If not mistaken it was called Bali Banana + Coconut Pancake?
It was a good try but it was too sweet
Maybe this called Bali style?

The music they played matches the environment so much
The environment make me feel so comfortable and warm
Someone still not willing to take off his "Robe"

After having our breakfast, we started to pack our things and check out
I strongly recommend this resort for those who wanted to visit Ubud
Services, Faclities, Environment - Excellent
How good if we could stay longer
1st place to visit of the day was Desa Pekraman Tegallalang
Entrance Fee: IDR 5,000 (per pax)
Tegallalang Rice Terraces in Ubud is famous for its beautiful scenes of rice paddies involving the subak (traditional Balinese cooperative irrigation system), which according to history, was passed down by a revered holy man named Rsi Markandeya in the eighth century.
Tegallalang forms the three most splendid terraced landscapes in Ubud's shared region, with the others being in the villages of Pejeng and Campuhan.
Tegallang alone has an outlook that spreads down before you and away to the rice terraces on the slopes across the valley. The high roadside location is cool and breezy and it is a well-known spot for tourists to stop and take photos.
Painters and nature lovers also enjoy visiting this spot, and there are numerous art kiosks and cafes near the ledge offering their ware.
Tegallalang rice terraces offer a perfect Bali photo opportunity with its dramatic views.
The vista sprawls down and away to the rice terraces on the slopes across the valley.
A local elder, a farmer who owns the land invites visitors to sample his green coconut drink, as well as to purchase woven hats that he makes from coconut leaves as well as posing with visitors for a small fee.
This ancient valley has a timeless quality whether there are tourists there or not.
The small village of Pakudui, a craftsman’s dominion located in Tegallalang, is a journey of witnessing the splendour of local talent at its best.
Here you will find an extraordinary variety of ornamental woodwork and various carvings. The villagers here are avid Balinese craftsmen and have taken up different forms of sculptures, either handed down through generations or as a result of an ever-growing creative process using the most natural of all media – wood. But through your village tour in Pakudui you will notice the recurring presence of one particular mythical Balinese figure - the Garuda.
Amongst the carved mythical lions, horses, human figures, dogs, dragons, vases, frogs, kangaroos, cats, ornate totems, panels, doors, windows, tables and the many brilliant forms of creativity – extending even to large-scale dinosaurs – the Garuda seems to be majestically ever present amongst the creations.
Below were the paddy field we passed by when we on our way to Tegallalang
2nd place of visit - Bali Pulina
Bali Pulina is worth considering for your itinerary while you are visiting Ubud.
Offering vistas of rice fields and a ravine, this agricultural destination is located in the northern part of Ubud, precisely on Jl. Raya Ceking, Banjar Pujung Kelod, Tegalalang.
Entering Bali Pulina, free of charge, you will find simple rustic open-walled huts built of bamboo and wood with stone foundations where you can sit and relax while sipping a cup of tea or coffee and enjoying the cool breeze.
Of the five huts available, two can accommodate large groups of dozens of people, while the rest are smaller. All of them provide the relaxing visitors with a view over the rice field terraces and ravine. If the sky is clear, you will also be able to enjoy the sunset.
A cup of the popular, and often wildly expensive, civet coffee here costs Rp 50,000 and souvenir packages of the coffee are also available.
Bali Pulina has a coffee and cacao plantation, with small boards identifying the individual plant species.
A guide is available to accompany you as you walk around the plantation and explains how civet coffee is made. A number of caged civets are also seen.
“This is the animal that is part of the process to make civet coffee, the most delicious and expensive coffee in the world. They eat the ripe coffee beans, then the beans go through the animal’s digestive system and come out intact in the animal’s feces,” a guide explained to a Korean guest.
The guide showed examples of coffee beans that had not been cleaned, as well as those that had.
After seeing a display of the manual process required to make coffee, from roasting the beans over a coal fire to mashing and sifting, the Bali Pulina staff allow guests to have a try.
A selection of nine choices of coffee and tea, served in small cups, along with a snack of sweet potato crackers is available.

There are also spices, such as cinnamon and cloves, that you can add to your coffee or tea.
Initially, this was a family plot of land, but it is turned into a nice spot to chat, relax and enjoy the beauty of nature.
