Yesterday, as so often happens in my life, serendipity hit. I found an amazing driver who was willing to take me to Uluwatu temple at sunset for half the price of any other agency in the city. He spoke great English, is well traveled, very professional and fair in his rates.
Pura Uluwatu sits on a cliff in the southern most part of Bali on the Bukit Peninsula, overlooking the Indian Ocean. It’s a popular destination to watch the sunset and to get a glimpse of a traditional kechak dance (monkey dance), performed by a choir of men. Finally, a traditional Balinese dance!!! Halfway through the performance, and no different from any other night that I’ve been here thus far, it poured rain! But before that, I was able to get some pretty great pictures. =) I hired the same driver to show me around East Bali today – those pictures will be up soon. =)
