Ubud Palace

After a few days attempting to surf in Kuta and Seminyak in southern bali we headed north by taxi to Ubud, the cultural hub of Bali. Surrounded by rice fields and rolling hills it's a picturesque town ready for tourist. While the major sites are lovely, the boutique shoppes and cafe's will most likely fill your days here. When I had my fill of Kopi Luwak, we ventured to Ubud palace, a baliense hindu temple on the main road through town. 

A stark contast to the Hindu temples we had seen in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore these had a touch of class and style that the balinese folks do so well. While this temple wasn't huge or elaborate the relief carvings we're meticulous and had every visitor in awe. I threw in one smiley face as well since I realized our blog was missing one of my favorite things about traveling... The local people you meet.
