Hundreds of blogs have already been written about Ubud in Bali. Is this blog necessary? I think so. Not to dampen your enthusiasm about Ubud but to paint a slightly more realistic picture.
I love learning about other cultures, but there are some things I would rather not have known. For example, in Bali, I sometimes watch with horror how animals are treated. Monkeys, bats, birds, and other animals are poorly treated as if it were the most normal thing in the world.
A few years ago, we all went hiking with alpacas. Now you can also walk with donkeys. Is the donkey the new alpaca? I don’t know, but I do know I really like the donkey walk!
I’m very lucky: I live in Amsterdam. So I get home quickly after an evening concert in the Ziggo Dome or AFAS Live or after a late football match in the Johan Cruijff Arena. But a hotel nearby is quite nice if you live a little further away! So these are your options near the event venues.
