When we arrived from Thailand we went straight to Ubud and checked into Mandia Bungalows on Monkey Forest Road.

Ubud is the main center for art in Bali, and Bali is just oozing art everywhere you look – from the abundant dance performances that tell spiritual stories, to the unique music, paintings, stone carvings, and elegantly designed and decorated furniture, walls, ceilings, door frames, etc.

Ubud is quite friendly for tourists, yet still has a local feel and culture, unlike some of the beach areas that seem more “made for tourists”.
We liked Ubud. It’s a little bit up in the mountains, so it’s cooler at night. Mandia Bungalows were only 150,000 Rupiah, which is about $17 US. They were simple, yet stylish, and the banana pancakes, which came with the “included” breakfast, were the best we’ve tasted yet! That’s probably because they were made by Gusti, the Manager, who became a fast friend.

Gusti and his close friend Gustu joined us for a long chat on our front porch the first night. The next morning we awoke to a coconut tree being trimmed and harvested in front of our bungalow. I enjoyed my first fresh coconut milk of the trip – Yummmm!!
