This is a breathtaking view of the cliff at Uluwatu, the southern tip of Bali and overlooking the gigantic expense of the Indian Ocean.
This is a an open air auditorium where the traditional Balinese monkey dance is held. "Chik...chak...chik....chak......" goend the accompanying rhythm. Quite awesome when done at night with the accompaniment of fire.
More view of the breakers from the Indian Ocean. A great site for surfers.
This is the more isolated part of the busy Kuta Beach. mostly enjoyed by foreign tourists. Low end foot reflexology, massages etc are offered all along the shaded part of beach.
THIS IS THE CULPRIT WHO SNATCHED MY BETTER HALF'S GLASSES - THE INFAMOUS NOTORIOUS GANGSTERS OF ULUWATI. He did it with the speed of lightning, leaving the victim shrieking for help. The next moment you see him perching on top of a ledge, examining his loot. It seems that the gang will take anything, so hold on to your spouse, or..may be.... be prefer losing her to the monkeys. LOL
One for the family album. (Luckily she was not snatched away by the monkey !!!)Stalls upon stalls along Kuta Square.
Since we arrived after the Jakarta Explosion, security was a bit tight, thus booasting your safety. Member of a Special Force walking the street with a sniffer dog.
You will never run out of money in Bali, ...oop... I mean money changers. You still need your money to change.
So, this is a good sign to end our trip to Bali. Saw this outside Hard Rock at Kuta Square. Farewell Bali. Be strong. Preserve your culture, tradition and religion. You are unique.

Is dat mama's glasses that it's holding on to? Wahhh u had no time to 'save' mama's glasses but u had time to snap a pic of it?
Classyadele, we tried to save her glasses. Spoke, pleaded, cajouled, begged n whatnots with the monkey. Then we threw him some sweets which he exchaned for the glasses. The whole scenerio took 5 minutes, so enough time to snap photos lor. Anyway, she is glad. She got a new pair oleli.
A monkey will monkey you.. once something is in its hands... unlikely you are going to get it back.. LOL! But looked like you all had a great time there!
AJ7, tks 4 visiting. Bali is an enchanting island.Had a discovery time to see another type of Malays.
great that you and your wife had a great holiday in Bali.
I was there just after the bali bombing in 2005. Security was tight, and I didn't quite enjoy it as I thought I would.
I prefer safe places.
Have you been to Mulu caves? I just went there in July and had a great time.
Cheers,
Ann
Ann, tks 4 visiting my blog. We haven't been to Mulu Caves. (Shamefully) We did the far away and dangerous places. Know something? We were in Israel last November and got out just before the skirmish at the West Bank. Well, the world is not going to be any safer. We have to brave out and seize the day. Take care. God bless.
