Am I crazy enough to add an ice cream joint to our whole itinerary? Maybe. But who cares? Haha! I was thinking really hard how I would include Mad Pops during our last day since it's quite far from Kuta. Luckily, they have another branch at Canggu, just 5 minutes away from Cafe Organic (Read my review about Cafe Organic here). I always see Bali photos here at Mad Pops, along with their famous neon light signs. The one in Seminyak is more well known though, but at least I'm one of the few people who did it in their Canggu joint.

So now comes the question, is it worth it? Along with the very instagrammable photos I keep seeing, I also read quite a few reviews saying that it's not worth all the hype the internet gives. I knew I had to try it for myself before believing anyone else. Did I like it? Were the negative reviews right all along? Keep reading to find out!

Ubud is no doubt one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to! Every street and corner looks absolutely stunning and picturesque. A lot asked me when I got back from Bali "how come you didn't go to the beach as much?" and I responded with a very confused look on my face. To be honest, I never saw Bali for it's beaches. I admit, there are a lot of beautiful beaches, but personally when I hear "Bali", rice terraces, street art, burnt orange temples, and holistic yet hipster designs comes to mind. And I think Ubud is the perfect example of that!

A day and a half is definitely not enough to explore and do all the fun stuff at Ubud, but we tried our best to do as much. I had so much to choose from that I narrowed our itinerary down to 3 main spots. Prioritizing which ones were the most applicable as a 1st timer around Ubud. And because of that lack of time, I promised myself that I will surely come back to Bali and do even more fun things and explore more of beautiful Ubud!

Wanna know which places got in my list? Keep scrolling to find out! Provided my whole itinerary just for you ;) Also, I prepared a daily vlog specifically for the lovely Ubud. Watch it now on my YouTube Channel (down below).

As a blogger traveling to Bali, having a smoothie bowl in a quaint cafe seemed like a must. One of the more famous organic eatery spots in Canggu (you pronounce it as "chang-goo") is the Cafe Organic. Even with our limited time in Bali, I found a way to have a quick stop in between Ubud and Kuta.

We left our hotel in Ubud at 10:30 a.m. and had about an hour ride to Canggu. When we got to the cafe they immediately informed us that their kitchen power was having some technical issues and that they would only be able to serve drinks and smoothie bowls. Quite a bummer. Luckily we already had heavy breakfast back at our hotel.
