On the road

Whether Goody would turn out to be a goody or a baddy would remain to be seen, but driving out of Ubud, I was glad that I wasn't at the wheel. Here are some of the things that drivers have to avoid on the road:

- lounging dogs
- running chickens
- piles of drying grain
- piles of sticks ready to go on cremation pyres
- parked vans taking up an entire lane
- Western tourists on Bikes
- more chickens
- pot holes
- children playing
- dogs strolling side by side taking up a lane
- geese and ducks crossing the road
- more chickens
- processions of marching kids
- motorbikes with whole families on them
- trucks coming in the opposite direction on the wrong side of the road
- piles of half-carved Buddhas waiting to be finished off
- parked cars

We passed through beautiful rice terraces and I was glad I could enjoy the views instead of having to watch the road.
