Beautiful Bali

Waking up on a beautiful sunny morning was a wonderful feeling especially when you are on holiday with your loved ones. We went out for a short walk at Kuta Beach where we were surrounded by locals. There were so many of them asking us to plait my hair, massage, manicure, and pedicure or even henna tattoo.

I had the intention to get my hair plaited, pedicure and even a massage but the henna tattoo is pretty interesting and I had that instead of massage. I chose the butterfly design to be done on my upper ankle as that was one of the best designs he had. It took only 3 minutes for him to finish and about 15 minutes to have it dry completely.

Once our driver arrived at our hotel, he brought us to a short seeing on the way to Tanah Lot where we can view the beautiful sunset. It was about an hour ride (traffic was quite bad) but we were on time.

Tanah Lot is one of the most sacred temples in Bali. It was said that each of the sea temples was to be within eyesight of the next so that they formed a chain along the south-western coast. At the base of the rocky island, poisonous sea snakes are believed to guard the temple from evil spirits and intruders. There is said to be one giant snake which also protects the temple which was known as the ‘White Snake’.

The temple itself is built on a small promontory which is only accessible at low tide. During high tide, the rock takes on the appearance of a large boat at sea, such is its shape.

Most tourists visit the place for shopping and the glimpse of the romantic sunset. I think it’s the best place to spend watching sunset with your loved ones.
