Bali Part III; Tanah Lot Sea Temple

So we're back to the story in Bali. 

Out of 10 perfect days, we picked a gloomy day to journey to the legendary spot - Tanah Lot Sea Temple.
I've seen enough photos from friends and so, I shall be there to witness the beauty. 

Up to million of  tourists visit make it one of the most iconic tourism spot in Bali.





Upon the walk to the temple, we walk through a set of Balinese market souvenir shops which cover each side of the path down to the sea.



Beautiful hand craft souvenirs and products are selling at affordable price, let's not forget about the fun of bargain too.



Besides tourist, I realize there were actually more domestic visitors who are there to pray for the celebration of Kuningan. Did a post about it that you might be interested.







The temple sits on a large offshore rock which has been shaped continuously over the years by the ocean tide. It literally floats, during high tide but when tide is low, people are allowed to walk to the temple.

The word of Tanah Lot is consisted of two meaning.
Tanah - as a reef looking like a gili or isle.
Lot - sea. 
So Tanah Lot means the small island floating on the sea.



Growing  up by the beach literally couldn't stop my love to the magnificent view in front me. Attempt to take a picture of sea wave hitting on also, create a historical scene that I can never let go; the wave brought me with them.



Exactly this one. I seem to forgot how strong sea wave could be and right after I snapped the photo, as the water flows up and go, it curled me along. Fell really hard on the rock and millions of thought came up,  all I had in mind was - this is it, so long everyone.



But there I was, completely wet and save. #thankgodi'mstillalive



Beware kids, make sure you're standing at the right spot.







Sense the storm approaching.







Tourist shot.

Beautiful as it seems in the photo.
