At the Elephant Safari Park in Taro, Bali we got to play with cute baby elephants. They were roaming around like cute puppies staying close by their mothers.
Most of the mothers were being used for the elephant rides and all of the babies stayed around the park being trained and greeting guests. It was the most wonderful experience I’ve ever had being that I have never got to play or get to know these elephants personalities. I’ve always thought of elephants as these gigantic creatures. Creatures so large that you can’t play with them or pet them because they’ll stomp on you. That definitely was not the case at this park. Continue reading
Influences from all corners of the globe make up the Balinese culinary dishes. Out of all the countries we had visited, I gained weight in Bali. Singapore was the 2nd runner up, but we were there for only 3 days. Balinese food is abundant in spices and can be overpowering if you are not comfortable with eating spicy foods. Most of the best Balinese foods we’ve tried were around Ubud. But if you’re feeling homesick, Kuta and Seminyak has many chain restaurants such as Bubba Gump, McDonalds, and Starbucks.

Elephant Safari Park – Located in Taro, Bali. A fantastic Elephant experience you can ever have and probably in the world.
You get to interact, feed, ride, observe, learn, play and stay with 29 beautiful Sumatran elephants, one of the most rare and endangered species of elephants left in the world today. The owner is an Australian man who married a Balinese wife and they live close to the park. We chose this place because the treatment of animals here are awesome. The trainers treat the Elephants very well and all of their commands are in Indonesian without the use of a whip. Continue reading

As soon as we walked into the courtyard of our place the Teba House in Ubud it was gorgeous. Cobblestone pathways surrounded by vines of light purple flowers, lotus, fish ponds, and a few friendly chickens, lizards, and a toy poodle.
Every morning we woke up to yummy breakfast of Pandan crepes with fresh banana and coconut, banana pies, or vegetable omeletes. Hot tea and coffee was also served throughout the day and before bed. We were living a quiet and peaceful life for the next 5 days. I booked only 3 nights in the Teba House in Ubud, so we could figure out how we liked it there or to travel somewhere else in Bali, perhaps to see the beaches or to another nearby island.
