Multitasking on Vacation: Cafe & Massage in Ubud
It may look like a colorful street shot from some developing world city, but, look closely. See the sign? Cafe and Massage. While walking around Ubud, Bali, we must have passed a dozen of these. Traveling with a toddler, I thought this was a brilliant idea as peeling away for a solo massage was unlikely. I could combine a juice stop with some mommy R&R.
No, I did not do it on this trip. It was my training trip. But I promise everyone I will take advantage of it next time I am in Ubud. A lemongrass cooler with some reflexology anyone?
Note: I am participating in DeliciousBaby’s super cool Photo Fridays, where everyone is invited to link to a travel photo. Please click here to see more of this week’s photos & stories.
What a great idea! One of our local salons has wised up to this too… on Monday mornings they have an ongoing story “hour” moms can come in and get a mani/pedi while the kids are entertained.
I haven’t tried it yet, but doesn’t it sound luxurious?
That is a brilliant idea! Love colorful buildings like this; too.
What a concept! You wonder why they haven’t caught on to something like this in the states!
Oh, that does sound like fun! Stop tempting me with talk about massage as one of the first things I want to do when I get home for a visit soon, is head to Esalen for a massage!
I like the colorful buildings too.
OOh I like the idea of that lemon cooler and massage. If I get out to South East Asia the first thing I’m going for is a relaxing massage.
We went to many massage places in Ubud with the girls. They will put another table in with yours if you ask so you can keep an eye on your child. The girls were 3 and 5 at the time and got massages right next to me. They fell asleep within minutes and got all the benefits of the massage while i had peace and quiet while getting my own massage.
