Tanah Lot

I finally made it to the highly loved (or highly hated) Tanah Lot to watch the sunset – the iconic seaside temple on a rock. Not much of the temple has its original parts – everything from the temple itself to the rock it sits on has been renovated and refurbished. There were tourist crowds and crowds of hawkers selling everything from religious artefacts to a holy snake. We sat at one of the cliff-side restaurants to maximize our viewpoint and I must say that I’m very glad that I finally came – the sunset was beautiful! Check out a few photos below.

A little crowded...

Rol and Hieu navigating the crowds

Holy snake anyone? Please, no dirty jokes..

You can get blessed at the holy spring at the bottom of the temple...

Waiting for the sunset

Beautiful...
