We borrow the Purist's complimentary mountain bikes for a ride through the rice paddies north of Ubud. Bryan is into it. - IMG_20131127_143333722_HDR

We did some yoga on the deck because how could you not. Here's Bryan enjoying a forward bend. - IMG_20131128_070043289_HDR
After morning yoga we enjoyed a swim in the pool as the sun gently filterd through gigantic palm fronds. - IMG_20131128_104911513
