Also in 1980, husband Pieter visited Bali. He stayed at the Bali Beach Inter Continental, now InterContinental Bali Resort.
The Hindu Temple of Tanah Lot in Bali, is actually on a tiny island in the sea.
Pieter had to zoom in from a distance, affects quality of course.

Do you see the man in the coconut palm tree?
He had to check daily for ripe coconuts, taking them down so they would not fall on the guests...

The Inter Continental guest houses were surrounded by a tropical garden...
Bali is the Island of Hindu temples.
This one is the miniature version of Besakih, Bali's Mother Temple, the largest Hindu temple complex in Bali.
Its name is Pura Kehen Temple in Bangli, Bali and it is built in the 11th century.

Leave it to the Balinese to decorate with flowers and other natural materials!

There are so many different dances but it can really overwhelm you.
I've sat once through a Ramayana dance, so lengthy...
Hope you enjoyed this exotic introduction to Bali.
In May of 1983, I too visited there and again after that.
Thanks for your visit and comment!
