Day 3 - Tanah Lot & Uluwatu

Our first stop at 10 am, was the Pasar Oleh Oleh Bali. Here you  can find almost anything and every kind of souviner at a reasonable price. Prices are fixed here. I got some Javanese scrub of the well known Sekar Jagat brand here. Was looking for some fridge magnets but still could not find nice ones here. You will need at least about 30 minutes, to look thru this entire warehouse full of souviners.

Temperature was quite high now. Next we made our way to the Tanah Lot temple. This temple looks like a floating one if the tide is high but when tide is low, people can walk to the temple. Tanah Lot also houses the best markets in Bali for knick nacks, souviners and arts. I would recently recommend this place for shopping , you can bargain and  get the prices you want!! I picked up a t-shirt, costume jewellery and art piece:-) Sort of regreted buying some pieces earlier.

Next stop…….LUNCHHH…..we decided to check out the Mc Donalds in Bali!! The menu was the same, price a bit less but the environment and interior layout was very different…DSC_0237 there was Mc Cafe which serves coffee and cakes like Starbucks and also an internet cafe!! so cooolll


 

 

 

 

After recharging our “batteries”, we noted that the weather was still blazing hot. So we decided to head to a Spa to book a session for the next day and also find a shopping mall, to buy an additional luggage bag, to bring back our purchases. Weelll, what do expect when you have 2 ladies on a shopping spree..hehhe

It was almost 4pm , when we reached Pura Lulur Uluwatu . The temple sits on a cliff and the view is purely amazing!!

I try to mention much about the monkeys here. Precautionary signs have been put at a few places to remind about their aggressiveness. I did not experience any bad incidents with them, but I did take off my sunglasses  just in case. But the monkeys stole my friends hair scrunge!! wonder what the monkey is gonna do with it…hmmmm

At sunset, Kecak dance performance is held here everyday.
