Bitter sweet partings
... Forest, the big attraction in Ubud. It was so cool! It was exactly what it promised, a forest filled with thousands of monkeys. We bought bananas to feed them and got some amazing pictures; one of them sat on Lucas' shoulder for ages and then must have thought his shaved head was a coconut because it tried to nibble on it!

Ubud, volcano, dancing and monkeys!
... gorgeous little puppy, sooo cute! I think they put him there to get people into the shop haha! We then visited Batuan to see some hand painting, with oils and Chinese inks, as the Balinese people are very artistic and express it in many ways.
