Ubud is pretty much inbetween Amed and Kuta. From Kuta we were going to do a trip to the moneky forest but decided we would make a stop there. The town was really nice and full of shops, not my kind, more french old lady kind but still nice. Again we got a nice hotel with a pool and free breakfast but by the time we arrived it was already after 5 so we chilled for a bit before going out for tea and woohoo wine! its like a highlite when I get cheap wine.

We finally ended up back at the first place which was cheap but a...

We got a taxi to China town to our hostel, Backpackers Inn. It was the wierdist hostel I have ever been in.
