Transport in Ubud Bali
Ubud is relatively tranquil place that many visitors to Bali enjoy. The day time scene on Jl. Raya Kuta can get a little hectic, but away from that immediate area and in the evenings, Ubud is peaceful. For people with a car or motorbike, Ubud and the surrounding areas are a joy to behold. Some of the most scenic 1-2 hours drives are in the Ubud area, a couple starting on Jl. Raya Ubud.

Cafe Lotus: Ubud Bali
Returning to downtown Ubud from Museum Blanco, we pulled over and parked across from Cafe Lotus, on Jl. Raya Ubud. This restaurant has the most amazing view. Pura Saraswati backs on to it and guests can sit under the elongated ‘bale’ structure and admire the temple across the lotus pond. This afternoon Ika ordered a strawberry lassi, her mother a strawberry milkshake, myself a small water and an arak madu. The bill was around 75,000rp, quite a bit more than lunch, but this is one of the choice spots in Ubud. All the drinks were good, the lassi was less sweet than the milkshake.

Exploring Bali by motorbike is one of the true pleasures that is available to most people. If you can’t ride a motorbike or drive a car you can always hire a car with driver (price depends on how
nice the car is). People staying in the Ubud area are spoiled for choice when it come to scenic rides, but here is one that you might enjoy on your next trip to Bali.

Ubud: The perfect base for a peaceful Bali trip
Visitors to Bali looking for an alternative to Kuta, Seminyak, Sanur or Nusa Dua, need look no further. Ubud is close by, but on an entirely different direction than those other places. The temple dances, upacara and costumes are taken more seriously in Ubud than anywhere else in Bali. For the visitor interested in culture, this makes Ubud an irresistible location.

Museum Blanco: Campuhan Bali
Last night Ika was telling me her mother wanted to visit Ubud, because there was a place on Indonesian TV, that a celebrity couple had been married. She had described it to Ika, but neither was 100% sure of where it was. “I will know the name of the place if I hear it,” said Ika, “I think it might be a museum.” After going through my mental list of Ubud museums (Neka, ARMA etc.) I said “Antonio Blanco.” and she said “Yes that’s the one.” We drove west along Jl. Raya Ubud, through to Campuhan and hung a left at the entrance to Museum Blanco. I must admit, I never actually expected to end up there, especially with my mother-in-law. The entrance fee was 20,000rp each and we quickly shuffled through to the garden area. Museum Blanco has a lovely site, with the extravagant museum, surrounded by manicured gardens and many exotic birds, including large parrots.
