Campuhan ridge

Only the vaguest of non-mountainous 'ridges' but a delightful runnable outing from my hotel in Ubud. Along the Monkey Forest road initially, then a detour until I found the bridge and temple that marks the start of the much-trodden path over the Campuhan ridge, not too many tourists initially. Above a little settlement, the scenery gets even better. Indeed the further I got north of the ridge, the better the scenery - beautiful rice fields, forests and temples, all the Balinese cliches but undeniably delightful. I jogged back to the settlement, where I had pisang goreng (fried bananas) in front of a superb view. Around 14k by the time I got back to the hotel for a refreshing dip.
