    It’s a very long time since we were in Ubud, we were staying in Sanur, but went up to Ubud supposedly for one night, we ended up staying for three!
    My home is full of wonderful paintings and carvings that we brought back. I just loved their arts and crafts. I am sure they are a lot more expensive to buy now, and I treasure them, they are my permanent reminders of our stay of in Bali nearly thirty years ago. Ubud has changed out of all recognition, it’s so much more commercial now, it was just a simple High Street with very simple art and carving shops then. Thanks for a lovely trip down Memory Lane.

      Likewise stayed in Sanur April '92, rented a jeep and drove up to the volcano area, stayed in Ubud on the way back...quiet and peaceful, very few tourists...mainly artists and local craft people. Found lots of little gems on the way both up and back. Would've loved to go back but life intervened. Looks like it's changed beyond recognition so I doubt I'll go back there...too touristy.

    Getting away from the jam packed beach clubs is a step in the right direction. At least Ubud conveys a sense that you're in Indonesia. Keep going - the old, untouched Bali must be out there somewhere.
