BALI- UBUD

    This page of pictures is of sites in and around Ubud, a town about 20 miles north of the capital and major city of Denpasar.  Ubud is the center of cultural tourism in Bali.  It is filled with the works of artists- stone sculptures, wood carvings, paintings, batiks, Balinese music and dance, jewelry, clothing and on and on.  There are also wonderful places to stay in homes for bed and breakfast as well as jazz cafes, temples, art galleries and motorbikes, all driving on the "wrong" side of the road.

    We stayed at Murni's Houses and Oka Wati Hotel.  Both are bed and breakfast places and offer fine services at very reasonable prices, $30-$40 per day.

    There are rice paddies within and all around Ubud.  They provide interesting places to walk- just don't fall into the water on either side of the narrow paths.

    Pura Dalem Agung is located at the south end of Monkey Forest Road in Ubud.  It is known as the high temple of the dead.  Just north of this temple is the Monkey Forest Sanctuary.  Be careful here that the monkeys don't grab your earrings, hat, glasses, etc.  They love to be given bananas.

    Tanah Lot Sea Temple is located southwest of Ubud down at the shore.  It is possibly the best-known and most photographed temple in Bali.

    Petula is located a couple miles north of Ubud and is known for its heron roosting sites.  At sundown, thousands of herons circle around and come down to roost in the trees.
