http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=sukawati+bali&sll=-42.915474,147.323181&sspn=0.011393,0.027874&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Sukawati,+Gianyar,+Bali,+Indonesia&ll=-8.62583,115.326576&spn=0.246093,0.445976&z=12
So you can see they're all inland and for a full day you could do Sukawati, Gianyar, Ubud if you wanted.
They're not the sort of places that "normal" tourists get to.
We were going to meet Pin and his family for lunch, we suggested we meet him at Gianyar where he lives and to go and visit his village but he didn't want to put anyone's stomach at risk as there's not many tourist oriented restuarants. ( Ended up having lunch with his family on Sanur beach )
I'm not a Kuta sort of tourist, I like nothing better than hiring a scooter and basically just riding, getting lost and finding interesting local places. I'll just stop off and take pictures of streets, people, trees, ricefields etc.......
I love the "true" Bali, not the glitz of the "tourist" Bali.... :-)
