Activity: Shopping Country: Indonesia City: Bali Ubud January, 2007 |
Experience Repeatability |
An artisan village with lots of local artists peddling their craft. We found a great painting here for US$100. Similar size original would be $500-$800 in a flea market. Found a guy who made a custom wood hand carved picture frame for less than $15. And he did it in one day! Lots of talented artist and you will surely find something in Ubud. |

Incredible dive! Mystical experience at one point - looked over and saw Dad - totally surreal. Awesome - underwater cave at ~15 meters. (Later note) - suspect serious case of narcosis on this dive given my profile. Well worth it though! |

East wall = left wall from beach chute. Vertical wall ~ 60 meters. Incredible fish and coral! -- Attacked by trigger fish while snorkeling to the boat. Passed over its breeding ground. A little disconcerting. |
