Reviews

A guidebook that makes you wish to visit the place!!!

June 25, 2015

A delightful book about a delightful town! We literally used the book step by step!

What I especially liked were the short “history lessons”, spiked with saucy, little scandal tales! I wish my history professor in school was like that, it would have made me like history much more!

I usually do not like guidebooks that are written endlessly long. this one was so interesting, that I was sorry when I finished it!

Just like being there

In reading Jonathan Copeland’s “Walking Tour of Rye, the most beautiful town in England,” I felt as though I was right there rather than sitting at my desk in Australia. It came as a surprise to me that this town should have accumulated such a big slice of the history of England over the years. Well done!

You will be conducted on a walk amid the rice paddies of Ubud.

You will discover herbs that grow along the edges of the rice paddies.

You will see turmeric and coconut palms, taro plants and banana trees, lemon grass and citronella, soursop, jackfruit, pineapple and breadfruit growing side by side.

We will pull, pick and crush roots and leaves and smell the strong fragrances. We will stop to taste edible leaves, suck the nectar out of the red flowers of the closed hibiscus tree, and drink fresh, young coconut juice.

Included:

• herbal tea
• herbal drinks
• Balinese cake
• tropical fruit

Bring comfortable foot wear with non-slip soles, as the walk can be wet and muddy, as well as a hat and sun block and a camera.

9 am meet at Puri Lukisan Museum on the main road.

Ends about 11.30 am.

Book as much in advance as possible.  

Email: murni (at) murnis.com or tell Reception.

We will call them for you, check availability and reserve the places.
