Ubud, Bali: 23 in Bali!

After an amazing couple of days on Nusa Penida island, we headed back to Ubud, where we'd pre-booked a hotel for my birthday.

On my 23rd, I had a really chilled morning at the spa (my birthday present!) and around our beautiful hotel, the Sayan Terrace Resort, where we had a really cool infinity pool and views of the jungle from our room.

This time around, we also got a chance to do Ubud's famous Campuhan Ridge Walk - a paved trail through the rice paddies - and catch another incredible sunset there.

Because my birthday's on Halloween, we also went to a ‘trick or treat’ cocktail and canapé tasting event in one of Ubud’s hotels, which was a really cool experience. For each of the six different drinks and matching canapês, the chef came out to the balcony and explained exactly what they were and why they worked together.

After that, we went for dinner at an amazing Japanese Latin fusion restaurant called The Sayan House, which did incredible sushi and had the best view over the jungle as well.

Our hotel also happened to be right next to Ubud’s Four Seasons, and when we stopped by there after dinner for a cocktail, the staff surprised me with a song and free chocolate cake!

It was a really nice end to a super relaxing birthday - and an amazing time in Bali overall.
