Trip to Thailand, Laos & Bali- The Ubud Market & Palace


On my last day in Bali it was time for one last look at the Market near my hotel. There were lots of textile stalls on the second floor of a building overlooking the market. Unfortunately the market is beseiged by tour buses every afternoon and the prices are up accordingly. I see similar items in Bangkok at much cheaper prices so I didn't buy much here. I did find a nice little shop on a street near the Palace where I purchased a few textiles at more reasonable prices.
After all this dickering it was time for a tasty cinnamon bun at the nearby bakery.
You see these small offerings all over town on doorsteps and in the streets.
After attending the Dance Session at the Palace at night I decided to take a second look in the daytime.
The Dancer area.
Not all of the Palace is open as some of the former Royal Family still lives here.

It was still the rainy season here (the rain comes from Australia) so we would have a downpour every afternoon which was quickly gone.
