Side trip to Sideman

We're in Sideman, in the middle of nowhere and staying beside a river. Around the corner are the beautiful lush Siderman rice fields for exploring. This place is not hugely touristy but definitely worth the stay for some peace and scenery.


First stop is La Montagne Cafe for the view. 


Not just rice fields. They're full of everything. I never thought I'd go wandering around in jandals, but here we go. 



Another waterfall visits on the cards with so many to choose from. It's peaceful and a bit of a step down to the valley floor and a great way to earn our lunch.

Kinda thought we should visit a temple here and the large one at Pura Besakih is interesting. The setting is quite lovely with the mountain backdrop and the drive up was pretty cool.
