whats the difference between Dov and a monkey?

We had our first full day in Bali to explore, and what did we decide would be the very first thing on our list of things to do? The monkey forest, obviously!




There are some darn cute baby monkeys! So much fun to watch them play.



The monkey forest is a short walk from our homestay, so I imagine that we will be visiting often. The monkeys are considered sacred, and the monkey forest is also home to one of the temples in Ubud. This particular temple is the temple to the dead. Each town has 3 types of temple - a temple of origin, a temple of current or every day spirits, and a temple of the dead. We were able to enter the courtyard of the temple, but not the area where ceremonies take place.





















And the difference between Dov and monkey is... that Dov wears clothes?

  2. You have to wear a sarong in order to enter a temple. We don't have our own yet, but this particular temple had sarongs that you could borrow.
