More monkeys

Text written in: English

Today started my tour of the island for real, making up to Ubud which is focused on culture. There is a lot of shops selling craft works and lots of art gallerys. Took about 3 hrs to get here as got lost more than once as they don't really do many road sins and the roads just randomly merge with other ones. The capital Denpasar is also very confusing and got lost very quickly as lots of one way roads.

Went to the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanactuary which has 3 holy temples, which is also inhabited by lots, and lots of grey long tail macaques, which will if giving the chance the young ones will jump on to you in order to get a bananna.

In the evning I went to see a Kecak Fire and Trance Dance show, which was very good. they have no music played throughout just a 100 strong male choir who produce all of the music and atsomphere. This was very good.
