Coffee Plantation
March 7, 2009
One great day we had in Ubud was when we drove out to a coffee plantation and then walked through some beautiful rice terraces. One huge highlight for Kristin during the holiday was the coffee that both Lombok and Bali brewed - she could not get enough of it! I still despise the stuff but very much enjoyed watching how it all grows and gets processed. The plantation had a beautiful terrace that overlooked a lush, green valley where we could all sit down and enjoy free samples of the different coffees and cocoa grown there - it was a great!
The rice terraces were a neat experience because we were able to walk all through them and get a feel for how they operate on a daily basis. The job seems extremely laborious with not great payment in return, but it was sure a beautiful place to go and see. Everywhere you looked in Bali you saw beautiful terraced landscapes and is definitely a memory I take back of my time there.
