Memory by Wabisavi

A total local-geography-fail on my part landed me in this hotel en-route between Ubud and Lovina. For unfathomable reasons, I was quite certain it was located on the shores of Lake Buyan, which indeed it was, just... a 1000m cliff up away. There goes for my sunrise stroll. To be honest, if you have the time, the area is rife with trekking routes taking you on what looks like a mesmerizing journey around the Twin Lakes. As of the hotel itself, the staff felt as cold as the temperature (10°C to be exact) and for the amenities offered, it was much overpriced. ❗ FYI, the Internet service in the mountainous area is non-existent. Even in hotels and warungs boasting free Wi-Fi, expect the speed to be laughable.
