Our hotel provided us with a great breakfast this morning and even brought it to our room. We ventured out soon after, once we had eaten every last bit, to the monkey forest.
Even on the approach to the gate the monkeys were being fed by the tourists and behaving rather agressively. We didn't want anything taken, as the monkeys often steal things or ... to be scratched or even bitten. We decided it wasn't our scene and continued walking.
We investigated a few pretty Balinese temples and visited the water palace. One of the streets we stumbled across was paved with concrete. Every metre there was a message inscribed in the concrete. They ranged from profound statements to 'Hello Mum'... The road continued up a steep hill before becoming a dirt track that led to wonderful views over local rice fields.
Back in the centre, we hid from the midday sun and uploaded our pictures from the camera. Take a peek at our latest photos in the Asia 9 folder...
We ate lunch in a small Indonesian cafe before returning to our hotel to book a bus for tomorrow. After a short rest we explored part of Ubud we had not visited before. It was a lot quieter than the main streets and we managed to sneak a peak at a shadow puppet show in a small hotel.
