Ubud is a pretty place. I stayed in a gorgeous little hotel with a swimming pool. There were nice restaurants and cafes nearby and the rice fields in the countryside a short walk away.

One evening I went to see the remarkable traditional kecak dance - the performers are apparently in a trance while acting out stories with music, dance, chanting, impressive costumes and fire - part of it involved dancing over red hot coals!

I spent time in Ubud's large markets, browsing and bargaining for local handicrafts.

I also had fun feeding the monkeys at Monkey Forest.
