Bali- Mad drivers and Monkey Mischief

So yesterday we got our flight to Bali from Singapore, apart from a very slight delay it all went well (no sick on this flight). We then arrived in Bali and got a taxi to Ubud. When I tell you it was one of the scariest journeys on my life I mean it! I'm so used to cars not driving to code to one and other but this was major tail gating, mopeds and bikes literally swarming everywhere and going in every direction, there are definitely no certain rules on the roads in Bali!

We arrived at Artini 3 hotel to stay for the one night which was lovely, slightly deserted, but lovely. We woke up the next morning to heavy rain fall, not what you want when you are planning to go the the sacred monkey forest! 

Luckily for us it cleared up and we got to go and see the monkeys! We even got a chance to have a Monkey sit on our shoulder! It is definitely with a visit if you are staying in Ubud as it only cost around £1.40 (it's so cheap here). 

After we got a free ride from one hotel to our next 'Inata Bisma Hotel' courtesy of Artini. After a swim in the pool and drink we meet up with the tour guide and others who are joining us on the Discover Lombok Intrepid tour, luckily they all seem lovely! After our meeting we headed into Ubud as a group and found a nice place to eat which cost us £2.90 each for a meal and drink! Before heading back for some sleep before the early start tomorrow.
