And in many parts of the island this image is not far from the truth. Borneo truly is home Posted by bradenelsewhere in Braden is Elsewhere | Mar 6, 2013
- Mengwi and Bedugul - Day 109Our second trip from Ubud was to the lakes and mountains about 50 km north. Although not as bad as Vietnam, Balinese driving is mad, the rule seems to be only overtake when there is something coming the other way.
