What an experience! Here's another photo
taken at "The Kyaik Pun Pagoda is a small Buddhist monastery
near the town of Bago, known for its four towering images of the
Buddha visible from far away.
The impressive 27 meter high images are out
in the open, without shelter from the elements by any covering temple
structure. The Kyaik Pun Pagoda was built in 1476 by Dhammazedi, a
devout Buddhist and King of the Mon Kingdom of Hanthawaddy (Pegu).
The Kyaik Pun Pagoda or Kyaikpun Paya is an
active place of worship; the images are highly revered by Laotian
Buddhists who come to pay their respect."

Hi my Beau-Friends! ❤️
How's everyone today, hope your week is going well. I also hope that
the typhoon in the Philippines will be over soon. Joining everyone in
prayers too.
☀️
Weather here in Bali is
good, blue skies and had a good time viewing the sunset today.
⌚️
Anyways, it took for
about an hour drive from Nusa Dua to Tanah Lot Temple. Our driver was
so good, that he was able to skip those traffic areas.
❤️
I thought the timing of
our visit was just perfect. We arrived around 4pm and honestly, had
enough time to roam around the area whilst waiting for the sunset.
Lovely lovey lovely scenery! A
must see sight here in Bali! The temple is itself a majestic
structure, I really had a great time taking photos too.
I'm also glad to have my
cliplense with me, it's really cool!
More info about the temple:
according to the tourism site of Bali..
"Tanah Lot Temple is
located in coastal side of Beraban countryside, Kediri sub district
and Tabanan Regency. It is situated in 30 Km in west side of Denpasar
town and about 11 Km in south side of Tabanan town. The temple is
built on the rock with 3 acre size and reachable in a few minute by
walk, because it is just 20 meters from the coastal lip. This temple
is very famous among tourist destinations in Bali with spectacular
view of sunset. At some nooks of coral reef around Tanah Lot Temple
there are holy tame snake in black and white color where according to
the local society believe that it as a deity property and as the
guard of the temple from the bad influence."
Thanks for reading my journal for today. Sharing you love, peace and Wishing you a great
evening ahead! Avec - Mon amour ❤️❤️❤️
Bali is truly a tourist’s
delight with its amazing sea faces, ornately carved temples and
omnipresent greenery. The veritable display of their culture which is
lovely viewed by the public.
Hi my Beau-Friends! How's your
week going. Hope all is well. I read the news that there's a typhoon
to Philippines so please stay alert, as usual. Let's continue praying
that this typhoon will not leave any serious damages.
Thailand's weather is for sure
blue skies and hottie!
Back here, Yesterday, I went to
visit two places that I always wanted to see. This is my third time
in Bali and I thought to visit them too. From Nusa Dua to Pura Ulun
Danu Bratan (Bali’s temple by the lake) took for about 2 hours
drive.
Ulun Danu is a famous temple by
the lake in Bali, resting at the edge of Lake Bratan. It would have
been wonderful to see the temple but because of the fog and the rain,
I didn't see much BUT Imagine beautifully structured temple with
double the beauty due to reflections of the clear lake.
I was told that the weather
condition in this area is unpredictable so my next visit would be in
the early morning, instead.
After visiting this super wet
place, we drove to the dry place called, Uluwato Temple – Pura
Luhur.
After paying my entrance fee
which was 30,000IDR about 1.7$, I went to get my traditional scarf, I
quickly tied on my waist like everyone else and off I go!
Here you are looking at the
large rugged limestone cliff with a temple perched on it, almost like
a scene from cliffhanger, to add to it’s dramatic grandeur. It is
situated in the island commonly known as Bukit Peninsula, where it
also include Bali’s few best beaches like Balangan and also has
many good surfing spots. The temple is itself a majestic structure,
constructed and expanded by many famous safes since in the 11th
Century, it perched at the steep cliff of 70 meters above the Indian
ocean. If you go even higher grounds nearby, you will be rewarded
with breathtaking view of either side and sunsets over Uluwatu temple
itself.
I really enjoyed my time here,
I stayed for more than an hour to wait for the sunset but then again,
it was disappointing because the sun was covered with clouds.
Anyway, I'm just so blessed and
so grateful for everything as always. It was last November since I've
been to Bali last and it feels every bit as lovely as the last time.
There is something that feels so naturally that wanting me to keep
coming. Well, that's only half true.. lolz.. what I really wish is to
speak their language so like this, it's easier for me to communicate
with the locals.
Lastly, thank you once again
for reading my long journal for today. I wish you a good day and
enjoy the week ahead!
Avec mon amour..❤️❤️❤️
