Well we've been on the road...We stayed in Lovina for a night because we quickly discovered it to be a ghost town and then we moved on up, literally, to Munduk. Munduk is located in the northern part of Bali and is perched high on a ridge. It was the first cool weather we have experienced in a while, which was such a relief! Most people staying in Munduk come for the trekking. We decided to give it a go and trekked an hour up to the "red coral" waterfall and then took a different path back. We thought the path would lead us through the many rice patties and coffee plantations up there, but unfortunately we either got lost, or the guide lied, because we trekked up and down through dense jungle and came across far too many vicious Bali dogs. Bali dogs sit and bark/snarl at anyone/thing that passes by, which is ok if you have one dog doing that, but most people own multiple muscular pooches so we had packs of two or three snarling at us from each angle, which happened about every ten minutes, talk about a fun situation! Needless to say, we survived and left Munduk the following morning for the low-brow scene of Seminyak. We are definitely ready for some civilization and Seminyak is a thronging mass of people, a 360 degree difference from the ghost towns we experienced on the other side of Bali.
