Asia Mega Tour II - Pictures & Videos From Day To Ubud

First thing and last thing we did each and everyday was take the terrifying drive up and down from the rental. I don't think these videos do them justice. It was like the trip to and from the rental in Frantaly...only thank goodness I didn't have to drive it.

Each time we left the rental and headed North, we had to go up a long, long mountain on a steep narrow road of non-stop switchbacks. Until this last drive we were always socked in with low cloud cover. But today, things opened up for us.

One of the highlights is a view of two lakes.

Most of the time it looked like this.

But on this day we got glimpses of it.

Scenes from on the road

I've talked about the festival period we are in. This is what it looks like to drive through a village with them.
