Bali – Day 5 – Ubud

Yesterday we arrived into Ubud, which is famous for the monkeys! The name Ubud comes from the meaning of medicine.

Our hotel is on Monkey Forest Road, but we didn’t need to go anywhere to see them as they were all over the hotel. They were actually pretty scary, and we were told no contact, no plastic bags as they presume it’s food and just to be careful. A couple of the girls had crisps and ice creams taken straight out of their hands.

This was a free day, so I stayed in the hotel with dips in the pool, cocktails, and massage! Had a head and shoulder and a foot massage. They were lovely!

Did have a scary moment with a monkey! It ran straight at me. It was fair to say I screamed my head off, there are videos on insta, but here is a photo.

In the evening we saw traditional Balinese dancing, loved how their eyes moved but it was super creepy with the jolted movements. Felt like we might be in a Balinese horror movie and they would start chasing us lol
