Ubud, Bali, Indonesia: Days 67, 68, 69, 70

Day 67: A Scooter, A Boat, Two Buses, Two Planes, One Taxi to Ubud

The time has come to leave Koh Phangan - although it feels like I could stay forever. My friend drove me to the Pier on his scooter and then it was goodbye. The boat drops of at Suratthani, where a bus takes you to the airport... well, almost. The bus broke down, so we waited 30 minutes for another to arrive. Fearful of missing my flight as we pulled up to the airport only 35 minutes before my scheduled take off, I snatched by bag and ran through the door. Fortunately, the plane was delayed.

For Valentine's Day this year,  I took myself on a hike to watch the sunrise. Just a short drive from the city, crossing the Golden Gate Bridge,  you can find this quiet hike near Tiburon. Park along the side of the road near the trailhead, bring your furry friend if you have one, and make sure you have a flashlight with you or on your phone. Not going to lie - I was girlishly scared to do this alone in the dark, but the view was worth it. And to be honest, there's nothing to be afraid of other than tripping over a rock or tree stump in the dark - if you know anything about Marin County, you know it's a safe place to be.
