Jungle Fever
It's a jungle out there in some of Bali's urbanized areas. Outside the city, it's really a jungle out there. That's the one I like. Sometimes I'm more successful at exploring off the beaten path than other times, but by land, sea, or air, absorbing Bali's natural, unspoiled side from a more remote perspective feels rather... primitive.
Heading into Bali's interior around the artsy town of Ubud, Operation: Natural Bali Immersion has been underway. Lumbering along on a revered elephant through some cool tropical environs. Ogling over the exotic technicolor birds at Bali's reserve. ATVing through remote jungle and tucked away villages (pics to come). Strolling wide-eyed through the straight-out-of Indiana-Jones Sacred Monkey Forest as the long-tailed macaques roam freely around you. And often on you.
