Bali Part 4: Tanah Lot Temple and GWK

Previously:

Today is more like sightseeing outing.  We have visited two tourist spots: Tanah Lot Temple and GWK or Garuda Wisnu Kencana.  For Tanah Lot, there is a myth saying that couple who hasn't married shouldn't come here with your partner otherwise you might break up.  But it maybe just a myth though.  If you dare or you want to break up with your partner, just give it a try hahaha...


When the tide is low, you can actually walk to the temple crossing the wet rocky stones.  But it is also beautiful from the viewing platform.  




If you have been to Bali before, you have definitely noticed that they put offering nearly everywhere.  On the altar, in front of the door, in the middle of the street or like this one on the top of bush.  This daily offering is a symbolize of gratitude for their devotion to the Gods and prayer to maintain the harmony and balance in their lives.  Although it may not be something that you believe in, but it's good that you try to avoid stepping on it.  If in case, you are accidently stepping on it then you don't have to worry too much. 


If you are looking for some souvenirs, I would recommend the small market just outside this Tanah Lot Temple.  Many varieties, most of the sellers are nice and good bargain as well.
