Bali

I just got back from Bali two days ago and I'm already depressed. Post-holiday blues isn't easy to manage at all, is it? Once again, I'll let the pictures do the talking.



^ Handmade Batik that requires a lot of hard work and patience.



^ At Warung Babi Guling. A must-try local dish according to everyone who's ever been in Bali. I wasn't impressed though, it stank so bad I had a hard time swallowing it, yuck.



^ Kintamani Volcano, it's active by the way!




^ We were taken to this place where it grows coffee, cocoa and ginger trees.



^ The free coffee, ginger tea and hot chocolate tasting session afterwards. Sweeeeeet!



^ A Balinese woman washing her face with 'holy water'



^ The prayer.



^ Sarongs were given to those who were wearing shorts/miniskirts before entering temples.



^ At a shopping street outside of the temples where we got a lot of good bargains!
;-)



^ Balong & Keris Dance



^ Taman Ayun Temple



^ Ulu Danu Temple



^ Tanah Lot Temple



^ Sunset at Tanah Lot



^ Nusa Dua Beach. A great place for water sports.



^ Uluwatu Temple on a top of a cliff! Awesome view of Indian Ocean!

What a great place it is. I must say I have fallen in love with this place though I was only there for four days. I absolutely loved the breathtaking views of it, the spa as well as Balinese people, though I have to say I wasn't impressed with their food at all. All in all, it's still a nice place to visit. I would definitely go back many times in the future.
