Winter 2019 - 19. Lazy days Too


19.  Lazy days Too

Reading
After yesterday’s extended trip, after the rain last night, we decided to just laze.
Yes, did you ever try to do ‘nothing’?  Not as easy as it sounds.

I cannot just sit there and look at Carol, so I tried reading a book, but got side tracked by my surroundings. Carol thought it a good idea to get a full body massage at our place next door, the place we liked, Budaya Spa. 
Budaya Spa, a Favourite Place

Both of us received a full body massage for the amazing price of 130,000 Rupiah.
They worked us over, flipped us around and kneaded the heck out of us for U.S. $9. They used salves, oils, took 1 hour each, and fed each of us a tea and fruit snack. They were thankful that we came to them, we were thankful for the good job they did and all was well in Bali.

We lazed.
Meditating

We could not really walk around, it rained too much. Yes, we each had a poncho, or we could have used the umbrellas Uma Sari provides, but we felt like being lazy.

For dinner we wanted to go to Pici Pici, a restaurant next door but when we stepped into the streets most of the lights went out on the street.
Pizza Place

Total darkness… there might have been a short from the rain someplace?

We never found out why we had no electricity but now it was easy which of the surrounding places was open for dinner. Well, Pici Pici had candles burning; they told us we could eat albeit from a limited menu. Normally our daily choice of restaurants is extensive, there were food places all along the street, and it seemed that every 3rd house had some kind of food to offer. We chose, that night, the Pizza place next door going the other way from Pici Pici, and enjoyed the one light bulb that gave us light, lit by a hidden battery or generator, I am sure. Vegetarian Pizza was our choice that evening, yummy. Carol tried a Banana/Pineapple lassie. Kind of like a smoothie. 

Believe me; it was not easy to do ‘nothing’.
