Old temple and water temple

To start my day, banana jaffle and fresh fruits
Then direction Gunung Kawi
Ohhh world of warcraft, so cool!
At the temple a Brahman is blessing a new store
In the jungle nice rice fields terrace
And thrn the temples, carved in the stone in the 11th century
Me in sarong visiting the meditation room
Nice view
Here 5 more temples
Amazing how they did that in 11th century!
A brahman praying
And my guide Gede, with tradiional Balinese outfit
Then direction Tirta Empul, where I am waiting to pray
You are in the water and pray and purify yourself
Of course dressed with a sarong
What and amazing experience!
Here the praying location, all religions welcomed!
I like this statue !
And finally some beautiful rice fields and not in picture a balinese massage of course!!!

From Munduk to Ubud

This morning I left Munduk to go to Ubud
On the way view of 2 of the lakes
Then stop at the 3rd lake Bratan
Where there was a ceremony at an Hindu temple
This temple is dedicated to the lake
That is why some parts are on the lake
The famous Rama and Shinta
Used during ceremonies
Here they produce organic strawberries
Stop at he market
Then my new hotel where this fellow came to have a drink
My new swimming pool!
And just one pic of the city, because otherwise I have done a great Balinese massage!

Rice will be ready in 2 weeks if the birds are not eating all!
Rice terraces
Cacao!
Then in the afternoon direction some sulfur hot springs! Stayed for one hour, so cool!!!
And finally visit of the biggest Buddhist temple

Overall view
Nice garden at the entrance
I bought these instruments here, took me 3 days and a lot of instruments training to have them!!!!
Chicken satay for dinner!
