Ubud, Indonesia

Since my 13 hours journey to Gilli's was such a nightmare, It wasn't a hard decision taking the fast boat back to Bali. My easy night before paid well, since this was a ride of blood, sweat, tears and vomits.  It didn't get better by this old weird American man behind me kept poking me and the English girl next to me, asking us stupid questions.  If I'd have open my mouth in that moment, I'm pretty sure there would've been more than words coming out. 

I've heard a lot about Ubud, as a place you can't miss, and my expectations were pretty hight. I guess that after being at Gilli's every other place would've been a disappointment. Its a nice town. it got a few temples, a market, monkeys and a ricefield but thats pretty much it. You're done by the end of the day. Me and English Katie from the boat stay'd at a homestay where we shared a room. Together with an Australian girl we went for a walk around (in the rain), and ended up at a local music/dance/theatre show. It was ridiculous, and hilarious at the same time. Good entertainment and experiences. We went down to the Monkeyforest and monkeytemple in the morning. I hadn't even entrenched before I got into a huge fight with a crazy monkey who just didn't want to get off my neck. They where everywhere. We spent hours in the forest before we went for a tiny trek up on the mountain to reach the rice fields. 

Celebrating Katie's last night traveling seemed like a great idea, which took us down to the bar to meet up with two English guys that Katie been traveling with before. Turns out it was the same two guys me and Elis were chatting with for a while in the bar back at Gilli's.  Ubud is not really famous for it's nightlife, but with our good company we managed to have a great night.
