The water gardens

We left our little place in Ubud to head to the seaside for a bit in Candidasar.  While there we found quite possibly my favorite hotel to date anywhere, The Water Garden.   All the rooms are spread out along well...water gardens!

This is the closest thing to my real life fantasy house that I've been to. There is somethings so unbelievably tranquil and relaxing about lily pads up against the dark wood for me. In the version of my fantasy house I have a yoga platform in the middle of the pond that I could jump to. There would be another platform across it where my private yoga instructor would lead from- you know the one that would show up at my house at sunrise with a glass or freshly made juice and say in her soothing voice, "It's yoga time" Ah, dare to dream... Oh ya, I live in a semi-arid climate zone- I wonder how much water would evaporate each day? Another major perk was the saltwater pool. Leaving the chicks pooped!
