Geocache Description:

A cache dedicated to the funky laid-back town of Ubud.


While in Ubud you can eat (there are lots of great places to eat), pray (there are many temples big and small) and of course geocache. You can do lots of other stuff too like shop, get a massage, practice yoga, take a cooking class, take in some traditional Balinese dance or buy some unique local arts and crafts. For partying or lounging on the beach you are best advised to head to Kuta or Sanur.

The cache is not at the posted coordinate but is close by. To find the actual coordinates you will need to answer the following questions:

A What is the name of the Ubud fortune teller mentioned in the book Eat Pray Love? (2 words, 10 letters)
B Where in Ubud is one most likely to find the mischievous Macaca Fascicularis? (2 English words, 12 letters)
C This temple is dedicated to the worship of Siwa (God as Destroyer). (2 words, 9 letters)
D The name Ubud derives from an ancient Balinese word meaning what? (1 English word, 8 letters)
E 90% of the population practice which religion? (2 English words, 16 letters)
F In what century was the area around Ubud settled? (1 digit number).
Alternatively, what is the name of the vans seen around town providing cheap shared transport? (4 letters, not taxi)

then substitute the digital root of the results into this formula:

S08° 30.ABC + 0.303 E115° 16.DEF - 0.811

You can check your answer here.

GPS reception near GZ is not great so use your geosenses and the Hint if necessary.

Good luck!

Small note on cache maintenance: There is a local cache guardian. Name and contact info on file with geocaching.com. The people who live and work in the area do not know about this cache so there is no point asking them about it.
