Blogs from Ubud, Bali, Indonesia, Asia - page 11

The 6th October was a public holiday in Singapore, so I decided to extend this long weekend by another two days and spend five days on Bali. That’s easy because from Singapore it is only a 2.5 hour flight. I decided to spend two nights in Ubud, inland and the cultural heart of Bali, and two nights on Nongsa Lembongan, a small island just 30 minutes off the coast from Sanur. I left early on a Friday morning and arrived in Denpasar, Bali, around noon. A driver picked me up and took me to my hotel in Ubud. It was on Monkey Forest Road pretty much in the city centre. The road is a one-way road and most of the time it is just one big traffic jam. On both sides of the road there are ... read more

Hello, I was suppose to leave Ubud today but finally some friends of mine are in town so I decided to stay a little bit more to have dinner with them.

I was looking for a place to eat and I found a lovely restaurant called "Clear cafe". This is a modern organic place with a lot of detox product, there is two level, I went to the top floor, where you feel very relax. I ate a salad with feta cashew and nice dressing and drink a green detox juice with ginger like I love them. I finish with a nice jasmine tea milkshake as dessert. Miaaam ... read more

Hello, Sorry I couldn't finished my post yesterday because of the wifi not available at the hotel. I'm going to finish it now. When I last write it was about my delicious food in the lovely artistic cafe, where I did few skype and finally decided to keep on walking in Ubud. I walked around and was amazed by the beautiful shops which surround Ubud, I tried to resist to buy everything, lucky the prices are a bit expensive, still very cheap for what it is but I am sure I can find cheaper in Bali as soon as I will be in less touristic city. I end up in a cafe with a really nice view of a rice field, called tropical view cafe just before the monkey forest. I drink a Nojito which is ... read more
