Those Monkeys are Crazy!!!!!!!
I have been having trouble adjusting to the time change here and have been waking up every morning between 4-5....and can not go back to sleep, so after my amazing breakfast on my veranda, ( that wasn't until 8 am) I headed out to do some exploring ...
Why You Come Bali To Say No?
... had handed it in from by the pool. Two lucky escapes now! Seeing these traditional dances is one of the must-do things in Ubud. I fucking hate musical theatre, musicals of any form, I even hate musical interludes in films. My mum said when I was a kid ...
CHAK-CHAK-CHAK Full of Karma
... good come back around to you. Another source of inspiration for me on this island are the performances. The majority of performances in Ubud are purely done for the tourists but are still spectacular in my mind. During my stay here I have gone to four ...

Cremation
Our Balinese friend Edi invited us to a village cremation. I know it sounds morbid, but far from! It's a big party, basically, with food stalls, music, pictures taken, etc. (No photos here show the body.) Now, when someone dies in bali they are buried ...
Last full day in Bali
Well, we are waiting for Dewa, our driver to pick us up for our last full day in Bali. We are going to be looking at some carvings and some glass today, hoping to find a craftsperson that can do the gate we want for the house. I have had a great ...
Monkey Fireman
... I felt it was too touristy (without having been back... new year's resolution = no prejudgment...) I'm glad I went back to Ubud. I didn't remember a lot and what I remembered was all good so we plunged straight in. The place we stayed was incredible. ...
Mooie dagtrip
Gisteren hebben we een hele mooie, maar vermoeiende dagtrip gehad. Om 10:00 uur zijn we vanuit Ubud richting het Noorden vertrokken. We brengen een bezoek aan de tempel Ulun Danu gelegen aan het Bratan Lake. Ik herken het plaatje meteen. Ik had het van ...
Monkeys and an active volcano

The Bali experience so far..
... steeds bomvol, maar had wel iets meer sfeer door de loungetentjes,muziekbandjes en sfeerverlichting. Ondertussen ben ik vandaag in Ubud gearriveerd, waar iets meer cultuur en activiteit is, onder andere morgen een kookcurcus),en daarnaast ...
adventures in travel
Well we made it here. Let me just start by saying never fly China airlines. The longest leg of our trip was a 13 hour flight from San Francisco to Taiwan, and there was only a huge shared video screen circa 1970's with whatever ...
Intro to Indonesia
... The visa on arrival gives you 30 days. In no way could you see much of this vast place in that time period. Indonesia literally translates to 'Indian Archipelago.' It has the largest Muslim population in the world. Our general, very vague plan, was ...

Bali
Yes, I am still in Bali... My original plan for Indonesia included Sumatra, Sulawesi, and Komodo but I got stuck in the paradise that is Bali. Instead of stressing out and spending as much time in transit as in actual ...
Eat , Pray , Love.....of course.
... people who live here so desperately need our business to survive. I believe that Bali has been discovered for some time, especially Ubud. This place still is quaint in most parts, but still is overgrown with shops, tours and restaurants, and guest ...
Ubud

Wonderful Ubud
... de rug! Perfecte plaats voor backpackers, veel mooie natuur en culturele activiteiten. Ik verbleef in een familie guesthouse aan de rand van Ubud, met uitzicht over de rijstvelden, waar ik elke ochtend (naast de gecko's, kikkers, en hanen) door de familie ...
Ubud

The Reason People Love Bali
... some of the myth and everyday life of Bali. Naturally I enjoyed the morning of shopping and was looking forward to lunch in Ubud. I ate at a place surrounded by rice paddies with ducks swimming in them, and the food in Ubud is varied and fantastic. I ...
Perjalanan Spiritual di Bali
... ini diadakan di Ubud tanggal 31 Maret hingga 4 April 2010. Meskipun letaknya "terpencil" dan jauh dari hingar bingar, Ubud boleh dibilang adalah tempat penting di percaturan dunia peryogaan. Elizabeth Gilbert pertama datang ke Bali meliput Ann Baros, ...

Back to Ubud
Today we got up early to catch the bus back to Ubud where we had stayed previously. The bus ride was pretty short which was great. The nice thing about Ubud is that we already had accommodation because we really liked the place where we stayed last time ...
Scootering and Massage...Ahhh
... distance. We turned around after a short break and headed south again, with the intent of winding our way back to Ubud. After getting sandblasted a few times by construction trucks, we finally got off of the "freeway" and headed west. I ...

... like my ridiculous knack for stumbling upon religious festivals is holding true. On Tuesday they have some kind of huge festival in Ubud for the anniversary of the King of Bali's death (ages ago). There are huge, HUGE effigies and towers which ...
The biggest deal in 30 years
... , brought me breakfast on the porch - some kind of green pancake with banana inside, and fruit salad. I wandered around Ubud, taking pictures, because it turns out that I am insanely lucky. Tomorrow is a royal cremation, they only happen once ...
Last Full Day in Ubud
... is again. On that note, here's today's recap: The morning began with a toe-curling, stomach-churning, adrenaline-pumping ride to Ubud to return the scooters. Mike lent me his helmet, and I rode with Bill. Although the men seemed quite calm and unruffled ...
Eat, Cut, Run
... ;t you know I’m far deeper than that!) I thought I should give Bali another chance and can see why people like Ubud – lots of lovely shopping, good restaurants and a strong alternative scene with a backdrop of rice paddies and lush vegetation. ...
its all relative
We happen to be in Bali during the cremation season. Tuesday is the big cremation ceremony, and many activities surround this event. When someone dies in Bali they place their body in the family compound and wait until the "priest" ...
