Tanah Lot from the hotel741 viewsThe hotel was very close to Tanah Lot, one of the holiest Hindu temples in Bali. The temple is built on top of a rock, standing in the sea. This picture was taken from part of the golf course associated with the hotel.

Jungut Batu on Nusa Lembongan718 viewsOn Wednesday 22nd October, we made our way to Sanur, where we stayed at Agung and Sue's Watering Hole, a low-price backpacker-style hotel with an excellent budget restaurant. From there we caught the early morning (8am) boat to Jungut Batu on the island of Nusa Lembongan.

Ferry to Sanur from Nusa Lembongan575 viewsThe journey out to Nusa Lembongan made us both feel seasick, but the jouney back, although much rougher, didn't have the same effect. It could be that we had a better place on the boat.

The Funan IT Mall, Singapore525 viewsOn the last day of our honeymoon (30th October) we did loads of shopping in Singapore. Nigel went off to the Funan Mall, an amazing shopping mall with 6 floors of shops, mostly computer-related. A dangerous place for anyone with a weakness for gadgets!
|
|
Sunset from Bungalow Number 7, Jungut Batu, Nusa Lembongan523 viewsWe stayed on Nusa Lembongan for only one night. We both hope to go back there for longer. We stayed at Bungalow Number 7 (which is actually a collection of bungalows). The facilities are basic, but you get a (cold) shower, a fan and a bed. The island only has electricity between 3pm and 8am, so the fan doesn't work outside those hours.
|
|
Traditional Balinese Dance520 viewsWe went to a Barong and Kris Dance. It started with a short piece about a tiger, a monkey and some woodcutters. After that two dancers came on.
|
|
The dance theatre at Batubulan520 viewsThe dance took place in a dedicated theatre. As far as I can tell this was a traditional Balinese theatre, with the split gate at the back of the stage, in front of a temple-like structure. The audience sits in tiered rows.
