Uluwatu, Bali

Uluwatu is the southernmost tip of Bali. It is mostly a place for surfers as the waves are best suited for that sport. It was a great time to just lay on a beach for awhile and find other good tasting food. I started at D’Padang which is a short walk from Thomas Beach. Less people and more beach.

A religious holiday has these special bamboo with decorations outside each place.
Couldn’t help snapping a picture as he was waiting for me when I went to get some coffee.
Breakfast at Suka was Chinese inspired with Sichuan hot sauce and Asian slaw.
Delicious food here in Bali.
We watched the person and dog surfing. The dog was much better but swam back after falling twice.
Villa and pool

Walking along the beach I noticed all the sea life. Of course I had to take pictures to use in my biology classes.

There is a crab in here if you zoom in on the picture.

We took a tour to uluwatu beach. Thomas beach near the hotel is much bigger and better. But there are monkeys at this one…

Afterwards, we went to uluwatu temple. More monkeys and these were mischievous. As we walked along the cliff, two monkeys stole glasses and a cell phone from other visitors.

We then watched the kecak fire dance. Instead of musicians, the background music is sounds uttered by up to 70 men. The dance is about good and evil. The dance is also a medium between the early world and the spirits.

The monkey in the dance was pretty fun. He traveled through the audience acting as a monkey would, taking things, sitting on people…

A walk looking over where people surf but obviously we are awake too early for the surfers.

Bali wine. This place has everything!

Next stop is a one hour flight to Flores to board a boat and tour Komodo Island
