Ubud bound: A Bali side trip

Ika, Jevon & I are heading up to Ubud today for a change of scenery. We’ll stay in a guest house and I can get online at the local internet cafes, most likely one of those on Jl. Raya Ubud.

Ubud, the so-called ‘cultural center’ of Bali has a lovely location, with small villages and rice fields surrounding it. I predict in the next 10 years there will be a massive property boom, and thetown will change character. The start of that has happened already, with tour buses and now a Bintang supermarket. Until recently Ubud had no nightlife to speak of, only a couple of places to drink and listen to music, most notably, the Jazz Cafe.

My goal is to discover a few more cool little corners of Ubud, to tell you about and do a hike or 2. Remember earlier in the year, Ika, Jevon and I went swimming in Wos Barat, a river in Campuhan, close to Ubud.
