Today we started an adventure to
the north!!
We had our usual breakfast and were picked up promptly at 10:00 in the back road by the market by Darin, our cabby for the day. It is overcast and rainy, so will be a great day for a road trip.
We stopped at various places along the way to take pictures and also at the Luwak Coffee plantation to learn about and test Luwak or Poop Coffee!! It is very expensive. We paid $30 for 100gms of Luwak Coffee, so if we offer you some when you come over, you will know that you are pretty darned special!!

Also bought a couple of our favorite teas, the Mangosteen and the
Saffron. You will have to come and try them, they are super tasty!!
We stopped a couple more times to take some photos...learned that the reason the big fruit bats don't fly away when they are at a tourist spot and have people poking and prodding them, is that they need to have a long fall to start flying....kind of like a hang glider.....we learn something new each and every day - don't we?!?
Stopped for lunch not far from our hotel at a lovely Oceanside restaurant. Our most expensive meal here so far!! The boys had water and I had a beer and we all had the chicken 'full meal deal' and it cost us over 500,000!!!! That was completely ridiculous!! We could have had 200 meals at the market for that!!
Got to our hotel and it was raining.....so pretty much just got settled. Ted was feeling a little queazy from the long drive up and down the mountain anyway, so it was nice to just relax a bit.
Had supper at the hotel Restaurant (much more reasonably priced) and hit the hay.
Today is March 11, 2018.......over 4 years later since I started this page of my Blog and never finished.....
I will rename it "Unfinished Business" and post it as is to remind myself, that although our past never goes away, it does not define us. We can do and be whatever we want to in the present. Yes, it is true that this post was never complete....and mat never be in your eyes........but for me, it is done, finished, forgotten. I have moved on to different interests and times.....
Don't get me wrong, I still remember the rest of that trip to Lovina....it has had lasting effects on myself, Ted and many other people. Some day I may complete the dialogue of this trip, but not today. I choose to make the decision to move on and I am okay!!!!
