Ubud: Chicken in a tree

Ubud: Chicken in a tree

I had been to a morning yoga session and was standing outside Yoga Barn, waiting for my motorbike taxi back to the guesthouse, when I suddenly heard a strange, clucking sound above my head. I looked up, and there it was. A chicken, I think. It definitely had chicken vibes, though it might have been a rooster.

It was strutting around on a branch high up in a tree and looked like it was having a great time up there.

I tried to get a selfie, but she wasn’t interested, so I took a video instead, and she was fine with that 🙂

Mitzie Mee - Sanne

Bali has a way of getting under your skin in the best possible way. One moment you’re lounging on a sun-drenched beach with a coconut in hand, and the next you’re surrounded by jungle and incense in Ubud, wondering if you should just stay forever (I’ve considered it more than once). This blog is a mix of both: beach life and rice fields, poolside breakfasts and warung lunches, trendy restaurants and hidden little spots I stumbled upon by accident. I’ll tell you where I’ve been staying, what I’ve been eating, and the places I’d go back to in a heartbeat. If you’re planning a trip, or just in the mood for a little wanderlust, here’s my Bali, one bite, one beach, one Bintang at a time.
