Day 2 - Visitation Day

Before setting off for tour of the day, for sure need to do some 'work' where each team have to conclude yesterday discussion and how to achieve team. After that, we went for our first destination ... Tanah Lot. It was located on hill and quite a bit of journey from town, about 45 mins (all roads are small, no highway here). The scenery was calm and there's a big lake surrounding the temple. Luckily when I reach there, there were some praying ceremony and there's a big group of people wearing traditional clothing.

I think it's their God ...

The temple and little island on the lake look so calm and weather was just nice ... chill and windy. Some people also take the opportunity to have some boat ride. The water level is quite high and it's almost reaching the height of the shore. If there is any boat pass by, the little water wave will splash over the shore and cause the ground near to it become wet. So those who take photo right next to the lake will have to be extra careful. Anyhow, the water seems shallow around that area ;)

To me, it's a fusion of Chinese and Java

The water is about to wet the shore

Now with Japanese feel too ;)

After that, we went to nearby restaurant for buffet lunch. Dish is rather simple and limited, fried noodle/rice, breaded fish, rendang chicken, dessert, spring rolls, etc. Crowd seems getting more when the lunch time approach near. Luckily had it early otherwise will have to fight with other tourists. Once done, we will have to travel to another far place, which is Uluwatu.

Poor lil' Eli

Oklah, at least it's a pair of Eli

Simple lunch

It was really an eye opener and I never seen such nice view with my own eyes, mostly thru Discovery or postcards :p The cliff, seaside and waves were so perfectly designed by the Almighty. Wave is strong enough to let some surfers enjoy their 'private playground' as public are not allow to enter that area. I think I'm able to spend whole day there enjoying the cozy environment and amazing scenery. About 6pm, we will have to depart for our dinner near beach side, Jimbaran (another bomb location few years ago).

See that structure? Amazing

The gulf, awesome ...

The Holy Temple

Can you guess how high is the wave?

See for yourself ...

While I was happily finding my seat and try to snap some nice photo, I only realize that my camera's battery was totally flat and what a disappointment!! I hardly hit with this scenario because most of the events, I still left at least 2/3 of the battery. Since nothing much can be done, I will have to use my iPhone to snap but it was toward night and iPhone camera doesn't perform well at night. Food is just so so but pricey and basically you are paying for the view. About finishing the dinner, the rain suddenly strike us and force us to move into the restaurant itself. As the rain become smaller, we took the opportunity to rush into our coach then back to hotel.

There goes another night there ... Wanted to go out with those guys but rather to spend some time to rest at room and watch their local TV programmes ... then sleep :)
