Mostic Inc - Temples, Jungle River Caves, and Poo Poo coffee...! Curious?

Mostic Inc - Today the waves were not so good, so we decided to travel to the interior of Bali. We made the journey to Ubud. Ubud, a town in central Bali, is far removed from the drunken bikini scene in Kuta, and is regarded as the cultural centre of Bali. There are some remarkable architectural sights, artistic gems to be found, and a general feeling of well being to be enjoyed, all thanks to the spirit, surroundings, and climate of the place. Ubud has a known history back to the eighth century, when the Javanese Buddhist priest Rsi Marhandya came to Bali from Java, and meditated at the confluence of the two Wos rivers at Campuan. You may have heard of this place through the Novel Eat Pray Love. Where the heroin searches for enlightenment. Here's what is funny....
Acolytes have swarmed to Ubud looking for (and sometimes finding) places and people referenced in the book. The actual characters mentioned are surely sick and tired of rather desperate looking thirty-something single women turning up on their doorsteps. Just be aware though that Ubud cannot necessarily guarantee a remedy for every mid-life crisis.
Below you will see me in the Goa Gajah or elephant cave... My favorite, the carvings and surroundings are beautiful. We ventured deeper into the jungle here, and found a Buddha cave where the local bats were snoozing and even swam through the water temple cave with the rushing water. Awesome....!
After this we ventured up the volcano to try the Luak coffee..... the animal eats the coffee beans and poop them out...
The coffee beans in Luak's droppings are already piled-up, this differentiate with other coffee beans that are commonly processed in factory. In the digestion system of the Luak, the beans are having a chemical reaction mixed with the digestion enzymes of the Luak.These enzymes give a different taste in Luak Coffee.
If Luak Coffee is consumed, the taste is lighter, low acidity, and the texture is smooth. We did and it was good....! Enough history and surfing shall be my all day activity tomorrow... Sean Out....!






















































This is the Luak....!
