Feel the Serenity

Ubud is supposed to be the cultural centre of Bali. The place for yoga retreats and relaxation but they've killed the goose that laid the golden egg.
Ubud is far from serene and tranquil.
Ubud just doesn't have the capacity to cope with all the tourists.
The main problem is that the traffic is horrendous. Noisy, smelly and poisonous.
The roads weren't designed for today's traffic.
The tourists like us will still come, but they could start by making the central area car and motorbike free, even just for the evenings. There's a trial of electric shuttle buses around the main centre which is great. Hopefully it will take off and they ban cars and bikes.Read more
