This was our hotel during the Ubud portion of our trip…

The entrance to our room.  Hotel Tjampuhan was built in the heydays of the 1930’s when Ubud was a thriving artists community and a popular tourist destination.  Our room was clean and comfortable.  We paid around $40 a night but the view and ambiance was priceless.

The hotel was definitely a throwback, no TV, no phone.  To summon room service, you’d remove the monkey’s penis stick and bang the gong.  Service was excellent.

We’d enjoy a breakfast like this every morning on our patio overlooking the jungle.
