Re: your zoo/ubud day - did you organise yourself or go on a tour?
We are going in Dec & decided to go to the zoo this trip. I'd been wondering if I could fit in Ubud as well & sounds like I can. We have 2 small children so will only do 1 day trip and will organise our own driver as I need the freedom to do what I need to with the kids.
What time did you arrive at the zoo and how long did you stay there? Was it enough time to see everything and interact with most of the animals? Maybe we'd be there 9 - 1pm? then head to Ubud for lunch - where you suggested sounds good. Hopefully the 2yr old will have a short nap on the way. Then we could have a quick look around at markets or monkey forest before heading back down. Stayed in Ubud for 3n last year but don't want to do a separate trip as long distance in the car with my two is hell!
Am heading to Phuket in Mar for my sisters wedding so interested in your comment on Pkt zoo. I'd been wondering about doing a trip there for 1/2 day or so but as we aren't taking kids didn't know if it was worth it but sounds like you really liked it we will give it a go!
Sounds like you had a great trip!
