We returned to the Ngurah Rai International airport the next day to pick up our daughter arriving from Brisbane. She was joining us to Ubud, a small countryside town about 75 minutes drive from Kuta.
The arrival concourse was a bit chaotic as there were too many people meeting arriving passengers. We have no problem picking up our daughter but had a hard time in locating our hotel's driver from Ubud.
Fortunately, the driver responded to the airport paging system, met us and we were on our way to Ubud.
Passing the incredible artistic sculpture of horses.
Entering the countryside road.
Finally we arrived at the entrance of Komaneka Rasa Sayang, Ubud after a 70 minutes or so drive.

Check-in was smoothly done by the friendly receptionist. Welcome drinks with cold towels were served as the receptionist briefed us on the facilities of the hotel.
Our room was a deluxe room with a private balcony surrounded by tropical garden.
A spacious bathroom with extraordinary amenities.
We were later ushered to the swimming pool area for an afternoon high-tea.
A delicious spread of local cakes and fruits.

Before dinner, we took a short walk to the street near our hotel. The main street was congested with vehicles.
Plenty of shopping along the way.
As recommended by the hotel, we tried out this local restaurant, the Cafe Wayan.

The waitress recommended us for the following popular dishes.
Nasi campur.
Balinese special.
The Balinese curry chicken set.
The strawberry cheese cake looked good but the taste was not as good as I expected.
It's a good way to end the day with such a delicious dinner. We returned to our hotel preparing to watch the world cup at midnight.
