This morning, a few of us woke up earlier than usual to catch the majestic sunrise.
Nice is an understatement.
it was a supremely chilled morning, the girls couldn't resist to slip for an hour or two more.
<Main Ski? for full description, maybe you could ask
Rehot>
...A few hours later, woke-up for the second time
due to the meteoric scenery, i couldn't resist to take a short clip of the morning:
(scene: the surrounding+Sedi awaken from slumber+Joker drying his towel; while LA ska/raggae/dub band
The Aggrolites was hitting in the background via the W610)
There is nothing more magnificient than indulging your appetite for morning breakfast under the whole setting
...and to make matters worse, we are so damn hungry
predictably, another short clip:
(caution: watchout for jos' sparkling teeth)
after those 6 stomachs were satisfied; Scott, Jos and me decided to go for a morning walkabout while Sedi, Kechique and Joker taunt us from the room balcony
in our previous life, all three of us are fishermen. We are so glad that we found a small sampan near the danau... seems like old times
this pic shows jos and me badmouthing the guys in the balcony
after all the politix ended peacefully, we packed our things. Time to go
today we shall checkout the KIntamani Town, the 'Mother Temple' of Besakih and overnite at Ubud, the arts and culture center of Bali
but first, we have a quick stopover nearby. Apparently there was a change of supir (driver)
Continue the journey but pause for a moment at Kintamani's Town.
Then, all of a sudden, we were approched by an army of locals trying to force us to buy all sorts of goods. They became increasingly nasty and we had no choice but to take refuge and blast-off
Drove for another half an hour before we stopped at
Besakih Temple,
the largest of the island's 11,000 or so temples. Sits in a series of
slopes, it is made up of courtyards consisting of altars and shrines
Apparently, any flesh exposure is deemed disrespectful to the 'gods'. So the sexy ones had to cover themselves with sarong.
In addition, the place is superhuge..we were coaxed by the temple guardians to hire a tourguide..."so that we wont get lost". yea, rite
but no fear, out-of-the-blue, a beauty suddenly appear
looks like the world paused for a moment...hahaha
Spent almost a full hour back and forth among the 7 tiered terraces of over 50 structures.
Balinese people often visit Besakih Temple to receive blessings and lay
offerings at certain shrines. Special calendar dates are more
auspicious than others and during ceremonies it can be an
impressive sight.
on the way out i stumbled upon this writing on a shopfront near the temple entrance
