Ubud is a very special small town in the heart of Bali. It is beautifully nestled in bright green rice terraces and is a city for culture lovers and artists. Beginning of the last century many Western artists came to Bali to be inspired by the tropical environment. Among them was also the German painter Walter Spiess, who was a co-founder of the Pita Maha artists' association, which was the key from now on, new impulses. The small village of Ubud is the artistic center of the island. So there are still countless galleries and museums in Ubud. There are wood carvings, silverware and plenty to buy jewelry. A little seems almost everyone to be an artist, even if he only mass-produced for sale to day-trippers produced on the main market. In the 1970s, the first backpackers discovered the small town as a popular destination, long ago, tourists from around the world, partly from the coast for a day, or stay longer in one of the now numerous and 4 *- 5 *- star Hotels in the beautiful surroundings. Despite the large crowd Ubud has lost none of its atmosphere, I convert a bit off the beaten path you will soon see no more tourists, tiny restaurants discovered with great views and can observe traditional ceremonies in the temple. One can think that Ubud is a small shopping paradise for all kinds Krams, and so was our main activity a stroll through the many shops, galleries and on the main market, which ended with the dispatch of a 20-pound package home. Even I bought 2 pictures .... and much more ... Another highlight is the Monkey Forest in Ubud, which is south of the city. It houses various courts and a ceremonial temple, but usually is not accessible. .... AND:
course, monkeys! Although about a hundred And piece. Before this you have to take a little care, because they love chains, sunglasses, cameras, and especially any type of food. From our vocational teachers Hr. 
Zitzlaff we had heard the horror story of how his Woman here a few years ago was bitten on the finger, and so of course we had respect for the animals. Together with a Forest employees but then we dared approach the sweet macaques, Laos since I am anyway a monkey fan made. And it was worth the effort. We saw above all, many newborn monkeys and children, were playing together. How beautiful!
