Uluwatu is yet another magical place in Bali. Thieving monkeys are a big problem. Ady, our guide, said if they snatched something of yours, you can get it back by bartering with food. That’s also what I’ve read online. Shortly after we arrived, I heard a group of Chinese tourists screaming. This time, there’s a legitimate reason; a monkey was about to grab their fellow tour mate’s sunglasses. It did, but the man was fast enough to snatch it back. The disappointed monkey sat on the wall, and acted like nothing happened.

As expected, only Hindu worshippers were allowed in the temple. As we were walking on the trail along the cliff edge, Kenric pointed out some turtles in the water (the Indian Ocean), but I wasn’t able to capture that with my camera. It was very hot. Even though we spent only about 45 minutes there, it was enough to nourish my soul (I think I have one) for a very long time.
