Scenic View @ Uluwatu Temple......


Our tour guide took us straight to Uluwatu from the airport on arrival and not to our hotel as schedule because of time constraint. Uluwatu temple is a place that any tourists should not missed because it has a spectacular view of the wide Indian ocean as this small temple is built on top of the cliff edge with a drop of about 100 meters down to the Indian ocean below. It is located at the southern peninsula of Bali.

Before we reach our destination, our tour guide, Mr Vijaya, warn us about the hundreds of naughty monkeys at the place that will snatch our possessions like necklaces, dangling earrings, and also our spectacles. So poor me and my sister had to walk along the cliff edges holding our spectacles tightly in our hands with a blur vision. The monkeys were everywhere and it is said the locals will get back our snatched possessions
from the monkeys for us in return for a small price. So remember next time its better to wear contact lenses for those who want to get a better view of this place. Here are some wonderful pics to share........
