Weather is superb - hot and sunny. Here at Tegal Sari the ricefields are lush and green.
They are building a block of 6 new rooms (3storeys high) between room 28 and where the first villa starts. Minimal construction noise during the day.
I found Ubud market disappointing. For me, it's lost the chaotic charm it once had. Too sterile and westernised though the downstairs wet market/food area still exists.
In Jln Hanoman cremation preparations have been taking place in a meeting area. The women are working away and chatting while the men are on the opposite side of the road doing their thing, preparing baskets of green plants and other groups of artists are working on tracing religious artworks. All very interesting. I believe the cremation(s) are being held in September.
