We’ve finally arrived in Ubud – place popular with tourist wanted to repeat Elizabeth Gilbert’s “Love” experience from “Eat, Pray, Love” (later portrayed on the silver screen by Julia Roberts).<\/p>\n

The town is located in among lush green hills, has its own Monkey Sanctuary and a busy two-faced market.<\/p>\n

Market itself has two, completely opposite, faces. One, which exists only very early in the morning – time when locals get fresh fruits, meats and spices. And a later one – more tourist-oriented bazaar without much food, but with tons of trinkets and souvenirs.<\/p>\n

We decided to split our stay in Ubud and stay in two places – one located near the town center and another one, further away among the rice paddies.<\/p>\n

Both places came with private swimming pools which kids loved spending time in as the AC wasn’t working as well as one would have loved to.<\/p>\n
