Once we had checked in at the treehouse, we hired a driver to take us to Kuta, an hour's drive away.
Let's just say the short amount of time we spent there was more than enough.

Not sure you want that... |

Dinner in town though was excellent |
 |
Pooooooop. |
The next day, we spent most of the afternoon out and about back in Ubud, checking out its many galleries. Ubud, a town which has become known as the art hub of Bali, is almost just as big of a tourist spot as Kuta, without as striking of a gritty nightlife. The main strip that leads you into the city is lined with countless "art" souvenir shops, which all carry essentially the same items - kitschy, glittery, and undesirable bits and bobs. Nevertheless, the town itself has its beauty marks and is worth a visit if you're nearby. I was also a huge fan of a recurring style of painting showcased in the area: large-scale images of expansive landscapes or scenes done in miniature, minute details included. They were fascinating to look at.

This was a little unnerving to read on our holiday |

Would you believe she wasn't actually making a sound when I took this? Amazing. |

Beautiful evening skies as usual.
I think I'll wrap up Bali with one last post of our cooking class (highlight) and the Kecak dance performance (another highlight).. xo
