Had a quick six nights in Bali middle of may. It's just not long enough and I won't do that again! Arrived in Bali on jetstat ar about one o'clock in afternoon. Had lunch somewhere in legion which was nice, different little separate huts over a lake very nice.. Then we went to Bali brumby and couple of other stops before heading up to ubud with our driver Eddie from Bali fishing partner. Lovely guy and great driver. We hired two bikes from him which he had arranged to be delivered to ubud for us.
Arrived at ubud bungalows just in time to head out for dinner. The next five days were spent checking out gazebos, pots, lanterns and other things we wanted to buy and ship back for our new pool at home. It was quite rushed but we found what we wanted and managed to arrange everything.
Found a few new great little restaurants in ubud. Laughing buddha bar and jazz cafe for great music and fun. Rode to celuk one morning and rode down to kuta another. That was fun except we got lost in kuta and on the way back to ubud. The road signs are not always the best.
We looked at a few home stays and bungalows in ubud and found some nice cheap places as long as you don't want air con. Might try one next time. So cheap...
Loved just riding around ubud down the small gangs and having a look around.
Can't wait to go back again in October. Staying in legion and semi yak with the kids next time but I will come back to ubud for sure. It's my favorite place in Bali...
