My word for Ubud: Rich…in culture, beauty, tradition, colour, the arts, vegetation, cafes, bakeries, restaurants…just rich.
It was a fabulous setting for relaxation, soaking up some Balinese culture, and eating delicious food. I spent 4 or 5 days in Ubud (I lost track I was so relaxed!), and each day was full of richness.
Having dinner at the riverside. Taking a stroll through a monkey filled forest. Watching a traditional Legong dance in Ubud Palace. Walking amongst rice fields, moss covered walls, and dog filled streets. Talking to friendly locals with adorable children. Eating organic fruit pies. Smelling incense from Hindu offerings everywhere. Watching children play soccer barefoot. Visiting full to the brim markets.
This was Ubud as experienced by me.
Looks like paradise to me! Glad to hear you're enjoying yourself.
