Sunset at Pura Luhur Ulu WatuSunset at Pura Luhur Ulu WatuSunset at Pura Luhur Ulu Watu

A very important sea temple in the south west of Bali,dates back to the 11th centuary.
We took a trip for the day north to Lovina a coastal town well away from the mayhem.We crossed the mountains in the center of Bali to get there. On the opposite side to Bali in the south we visited the Pura Ulun Temple at sunset, where we watched an amazing chant and dance called a Kecak. I will try to download video next time! In between we saw an unusual coffee farm. Lewak coffee which is coffee that has been digested and poohed back by a Lewak which is a type of mongoose/marten! Lynn got to grips with a Lemar and a Fruit Bat.----- This trip was organised by Brandon of "The Transporter"----- a great guide.
