Titisan in Ubud

The owners of the Titisan Gallery are such lovely people. They have a Gallery in Sanur and one in Ubud. This video is from the Ubud one. Enjoy.

Popiler Batik Gallery

The Popiler Batik Gallery has grown on us over time. On the one hand it caters for tourists so the prices are higher, and there is an element of 'just for show'. However, we keep going back because the work is really god quality, the cloth doesn't shrink and they make Western sizes (in my case read 'large'). Just look at the hand finishing and detailed work though, and this puts the price into some perspective. Great place to visit.

The partner shop to Titisan

This shop is owned by Murni's daughter, but I can't remember the name of the shop. I'll update once we find it. Just ask at Murni's or if you are using Connie and Made as driver they know where it is. The owners are lovely people, and it is worth a visit just to see the wonderful collection.

Balinese temple

This is a Balinese temple we visited on the way to Ubud. Now for the confession .. I can't remember what it is called. We are writing to Connie to get an update. I just had to get these shots because the overgrowth looks so 'Indiana Jones' on what is a working temple.
