New Home in Canggu

My 1st choice of longer term accommodation fell through, but I found a sweet plan B in an area called Canggu (pronounced chahngoo) near Berawa Beach (pronounced berava.) It’s a private home, with the family of the 1st of four brothers who all live in a row. The grandparents, parents & kid live across the courtyard from me. My building has two guest rooms which each have a private bathroom and outdoor shower. Ahhh, showering under the stars.
When I’m using the loo I sometimes hear the cows moo-ing on the other side of the wall. This is a little chill out area in the shade:
There is a temple, an altar, and an area for doing larger ceremonies.
The neighbor in the other guest room (for just a few more days) is a gregarious Italian with soccer hair and an aversion to shirts. He's a Pilates-phile and had good recos on yoga studios. Sorry he won't be around longer!
