In Reply to: Ubud as central hub? posted by aloha_ha on Monday, 23. March 2009 at 01:14 Bali Time:
I am biased and always stay in Ubud, but realistically it is a very good base for 4 or 5 nights so that you can access these attractions easily. You will also have enough time in Ubud to find the side of Ubud that day trippers just don't see, the true nature of the place. While there you will also possibly venture a little further north, to the Bedugul markets and shopping in Tegalalang as examples.
Cheers,
