Massage
There are heaps of salons in Ubud, heaps!
If you want to relax, head there for a great deal.
Don't use the street people here :( Don't make my mistake (read my diary for more).
But the salons made me forget all that and really soak it up.

I went to Verona Esthetic Salon & Body Spa in Monkey Forest Rd.
