Itinerary:
Pura Ulun Danu Bratan (Water Temple)Description: This temple is actually near Bedugul, but since this was a stop in our drive, I decided to merge this with the Kuta post! This temple is pretty because it's situated by Beratan Lake with a mountainous backdrop. The flowers are very colorful, and I enjoyed photographing a lot of the plants (as you can see). Taman Ayun TempleDescription: This temple is also not in Kuta, but in an area called Mengwi. It was another stop along our way to Kuta, and it was raining so hard that we were practically the only visitors here. This temple was a bit underwhelming, due to its size. It's a small loop around the center with only one major site to see. Apologies for the poor pictures, but let's blame the weather :) Uluwatu Temple & Kecak DanceDescription: In Southeast Asia, there is always that "cultural" show that I find to be tourist traps, horrible to watch, and I never understand what they are trying to portray. Instead of the traditional indoor show, I opted for the Kecak Dance at the Uluwatu Temple. I still didn't 100% understand what was happening, but it was definitely more entertaining and amusing. I really love how all these temples are by the water! So gorgeous. Bulgari ResortDescription: Afternoon Tea at Sangkar RestaurantDescription: Afternoon tea was included in our package. The skewers were made on lemongrass and were so delicious that we ordered a second round! Honestly, these tour packages spoil me with so much food and massages. Bale UdangDescription: This restaurant is unique because they have gubugs (or pergolas) that you can dine in. It feels like a truly special atmosphere, but I'm sure it's made for tourists. Honestly, I didn't even know what these "daydream decks" (translated from Chinese) were called until I looked it up, but they're everywhere in Bali and I love them! The food here was yummy - the sauces are amazing and anything fried is always delicious. Bumbu Bali RestaurantDescription: The presentation of the food here is gorgeous! The food here was not as delicious as the other restaurants and there were flies everywhere that we had a difficult time eating, but I really liked the presentation of the food. Unfortunately, when everything is pre-booked for you, you don't know what you're eating until you try it so it was difficult distinguishing what meats we were eating.
