The classical Balinese paintings are produced in the village of Kamasan, Klungkung, but I am heading for Ubud first. I will be staying at the Puri Saraswati Bungalows, named after the Goddess of Arts, Knowledge and Wisdom; can’t have it better! This is in a town centre, a stone’s throw from the Ubud Royal Palace and Puri Lukisan (Art) Museum; a short walk to the Sacred Monkey Forest and the Great Temple of Death.
