I'm leaving ubud today which is cool because I have seen enough of it and want to get back to the coast. If you come over anytime I think 4 days in ubud is plenty. Its full of jewellery, carving, art and craft shops and the centre for Balinese dance. The fire dance is the one to see. At the end someone dressed up with a fake emu like Bernie Clifton kicks some hot coals about. There are a lot of cafes and bars here too which suited me. The food was good, a bit more expensive than kuta but you can find the tucked away place and eat nasi goerang and have a bandanna smoothie for 3.50. I still haven't beat a little place in kuta called the balcony for food and prices yet though. That place was amazing.
I did visit the monkey forest in the end. I wasn't going to but ended up outside it and it was only a quid to go in. There are lots of monkeys. Surprise! My top tip is to locate a Japanese tourist with a bottle of water on show or sticking out of his bag. The monkeys zero right in on it and the map tries to defend himself with low kicks and ninja grunts. Its hilarious.
I'm heading down to medewi today. Got a little apartment on the beach so hopefully there will be some surf sessions in the bank. Got four days there at the moment but if the surf is on I'll extend it to 12 and then just have the last two days before the flight in kuta. Hopefully they will have a computer so I can transfer some pictures over! And no rich, I'm not missing Robson greens extreme fishing.
