Ubud and Monkey Forest

After a few days on Gili Tranwagnaw we headed back to the island of Bali and to the cultural hot spot of Ubud. I was sunburnt to a crisp, so this was the perfect place for me, away from the beach!

I had big plans to go to galleries and maybe see a dance, but after two weeks on the road I was exhausted and instead opted for a day of shopping and a visit to the Monkey Forest.

The shopping was great and different from the shops in Kuta that we saw when we first arrived. We saw more Indonesian art and less Roxy surf ware. A trip to the Monkey Sanctuary was next on the list. We spent the afternoon walking around the beautiful temples and watching some hilarious monkeys.

Offerings found outside every store


In Ubud they put flowers EVERYWHERE

Were you going to eat that? A Monkey getting his fix from the daily offerings around the forest.
