A magical island!

4-5 Jan Ritz Carlton, Bali

I went to Bali, a tropical island in the Indonesian archipelago, to attend a friend's wedding. The wedding ceremony was held at the chapel in The Ritz Carlton Bali Resort. The Resort is a beautiful place, which set atop a bluff, overlooking the white sandy beaches and the turquoise blue calm of the Indian Ocean.

6 Jan Bali Temples

I visited 2 temples in Bali: Tanah Lot and Uluwatu. Tanah Lot is one of the most sacred shrines in all of Bali. It was built on a rock on the beach. When the tide is low people can walk to the temple. It looks like a floating one if the tide is high. There are many caves under the temple. The sight of a fiery red Balinese sunset at the temple reminded me of how much beauty there is in the world. It was a such a gorgeous sight to behold!

The Uluwatu Temple is a spectacular temple which is perched on a steep cliff 70 meters above the roaring ocean waves. The temple is inhabited by a large number of monkeys, who are extremely adept at snatching visitors' belonging, including bags and cameras. I did stow away my sunglasses, just in case!

After a day of sightseeing, I concluded my evening with a luxurious milk spa.

7 Jan Cute Dolphins!

I went ocean rafting along the coastline of Nusa Dua. It was absolutely exhilarating! There were countless dolphins spotting off the South Bali Coast. The cruise was nothing less than unforgettable!
