The next morning, we had breakfast (nasi goreng again) and checked out of the hotel to make our way to Ubud, a few hours drive south, in central Bali. We made a few stops along the way:
Lake Buyan,
Lake Tamblingan
and together:
Driving down the mountain:
We then went to another Balinese Hindu temple - this one is the most photographed site in Bali (and it was crowded!!!)
Before leaving the site, we decided to have lunch there, because we were still about 2 hours away from Ubud...
Crispy chicken sambal matah - under the mound of ridiculously crispy breading is a chicken thigh. The sambal matah (in the left container) is a great sambal consisting mainly of shallot and chili... I love this sambal. On the right is acar.
ETA: FYI, just outside this temple complex was a huge number of local food vendors, right where the tour buses were parked.... I had no idea they were there until we passed them when we were on the road, just after we had finished eating!
Edit lake name spelling
