Bali - Tanah Lot






We made a trip to Tanah Lot which is approximately 1-2 hours from where we were. I was hungover so slept most of the journey so can't really tell exactly how long it took.

Tanah Lot translated means "Land in the Middle of the Sea" in Balinese. *Ahem i'm half Balinese now ok?" It's a temple that sits on a large offshore rock which has been shaped continuously over the years by the ocean tide.

When it's low tide, you can walk into the temple and basically walk around but at around 6pm which is nearly sunset the tide rises and thus if you want to get into the temple you have to swim instead.

It's renowned as a popular tourist spot. Naturally, as tourist we did the picture taking and sit at the Sunset Cafe and watch the sunset. Lovely. It was worth the massive hangover i was having.

Pictures paint a thousand words. Therefore i'll let the pictures take over.
