In Reply to: Day trips from Tuban posted by sonia on Sunday, 20. February 2005 at 14:59 Bali Time:
can be done in day trips. Its been along time since I have done day trips like these but if you head up to Ubud then you can do the monkey forest, see rice terraces and a host of places along the way.
A little further down is a post about driver, one of them lists a driver Made Mangku or similar [sorry] . I checked out the link which was on one of these posts and it has his website listed. He seems to come highly recommended. Maybe contact him to arrange a couple of day trips.
Personally one of my favourites was to head up to Singaraja and Lovina areas stopping along the way at a market then on to Lake Bratan, then GitGit waterfall. A long and winding road but some beautiful scenery and then head on up to the hot springs for a dip.
Its a full day and you will come back exhausted I am sure but you will have gone from top to bottom in one day... hope this may be of some help.
By the way Tanah Lot is lovely to go to and watch sunset. There are markets all the way down to the cliff area where you can sit back and watch the sunset...just gotta hope for a good one. This obviously is a trip which you can do in just a few hours and return to Tuban for dinner....cheers
