Bali quick land tour

our liveaboard in Bali-Komodo gave us a chance to explore the island (Bali) for a couple of days before and after the trip.

Being totally new to the place, we decided to hire a motorbike and go for one of the most popular destinations: Tanah Lot Temple.

A bit of INFO: is located in coastal side of Beraban countryside, Kediri sub district and Tabanan Regency. It is situated in 30 Km in west side of Denpasar town and about 11 Km in south side of Tabanan town. The temple is built on the rock with 3 acre size and reachable in a few minute by walk, because it is just 20 meters from the coastal lip. This temple is very famous among tourist destinations in Bali with spectacular view of sunset. At some nooks of coral reef around Tanah Lot Temple there are holy tame snake in black and white color where according to the local society believe that it as a deity property and as the guard of the temple from the bad influence.


Once parked our motorbike, we started a walk by the coastline where we first stumbled upon a shrine/temple on a rock connected to the coast by a natural bridge






Few minutes walk away, we started seeing the Temple... you can see that at low tide, it is easily reachable... sometimes at high tide, it is completely separated from the main land...






classic "touristic" picture in front of the temple... (notice that the tide was rising...)

Small "pit-stop" at the guest house (overpriced and under-maintained-cleaned)






let's go to Ku-de-ta lounge bar in Sanur for a stunning sunset!






Haaaaaaaalloooooooo... sunset here is sooooo nice!






as the place started getting overcrowded, we decided to go to another bar next to KDT to enjoy the sunset in tranquillity...






color swap for a pink sunset!

back home, ready for a "Mango Extension"... still have to figure out what that is...
