OUr experience at Munduk was well.. not what we expected.. we ended up doing an 8.30pm drive out of their back to Ubud arriving near 11pm and finding any cheap hotel out of there.
The thunder and lighting was unbelievable.. and it seemed we were staying on a ridge of a volcano where the warm air from the sea meets the colder mountain air.. the view looked great in between rain clouds and we saw the biggest volcano (drove along edge of it for long way up the top) and the crate lake was unbelievably massive - on a clear day would look fantastic.
The accommodation was OK - hut overlooking rice terraces being worked etc, but they had insisted on giving us extra bed which left little room, and of course we didn't use.. we had early dinner because of threat rain/thunder and played cards iwth girls on bed to get their minds off thunderstorm...but when we went to bed it got worse,, much much much worse to the point of no power for a least an hour and Charlotte and I were shaking to the bone in fear.. and I was thinking.. this is it on my birthday.
Had to weigh up chance of getting killed driving out of there vs. chance of getting fried literally.
I think the lightning had hit the rice water paddies right next to our hut.. when we packed up to go it seemed other huts had power but not us. But we were too fearful and thunder/lightning was not going away.
now in Ubud arranged painting to be sent to Legian tomorrow and need to sort out driver we had arranged for tomorrow today instead and go back to stay same place friends... really scared last night .. seems we have left bag of shopping in van that brought us back but our lives and safety more important.
The girls saw local kids doing dancing, but they had dried blood here and there on floor which I couldn't get Lotus out of at times ...
Glad to be in civilisation with bigger roof.
