The beautiful and lush green rice terraces, with their many steps, are another popular tourist destination for foreigners. However, it is a pity that the rice was not yet fully grown when I visited.

The temple known as "Wat Than Lot" or, as it is more commonly referred to by Thai guides for ease of understanding, "Temple in the Sea," is situated on a rocky outcrop that juts out into the ocean. The constant crashing of waves against the base of the temple creates a mesmerizing spectacle. Beneath the outcrop lies a pool of crystal-clear water, believed by the local Brahmins to be sacred and used for auspicious ceremonies. During high tide, the island becomes inaccessible, hence the apt name.

While traveling back to the accommodation, I saw it from afar, so I asked the driver, "Is that Akung?" "Yes, yes, yes, Akung," he replied. Then he stopped the car and let me get out to take pictures without even asking.

This trip was filled with new experiences. The people, cities, temples, culture, and food were all completely different from what we have at home. Four full days of sightseeing is a very short time for a large island like Bali. There were many places that we didn't get to see, but due to limited time and responsibilities, we had to prioritize the most important sites.


There were many stories that unfolded while we were there, but everything went smoothly. The trip was still enjoyable, even though everyone in the group was battered by various things. R.I.P. OLYMPUS PEL 7, which is now sleeping soundly. 555


NOTE

  • Travel with Teddy Bali Tour
  • Cost: Approximately 7,000 baht / excluding airfare (AIR ASIA 6,100 baht)
  • Cameras: NIKON5100, OLYMPUS PEL 7, FUJI XA-3, edited with VSCO Filter A7
  • Food: For me, it was okay, edible, not too difficult to eat. But for those who are picky eaters, there are KFC, MCDONALD, and PIZZA available. However, I would recommend JFC, an Indonesian fried chicken brand, which is cheap and delicious.

Accommodation

  • Grandmas Plus Hotel Airport,
  • Villa Nian Luxury Villas & Spa
