Tanah Lot, Bali DAY 4-6 July 2016

Hi! I'm back with photos from Bali, which are really overdue. We went to an oceanside temple called Tanah Lot. Since we stayed in Seminyak, we could only go to nearby tourist attractions that are about an hour away.

The weather was sweltering hot... keep in mind and bring sunglasses and hat to almost everywhere in Bali 🌞😎

Picturesque much? This temple may not be as well known as the Uluwatu temple, but also popular and on many magazine covers.

Near the entrance of the temple

Fortunately, it was not raining on this day :) In Bali, the rain comes and goes even when it's sunny--which can ruin your pictures.

Our Balinese guide told us that the temple was built around the 16th century.

We saw some monkeys hanging in the temple 🐒🐵  we wanted to see them close, but our guide warned us that they might steal things 😓

This guy looked friendly.

We also went to a coffee factory recommended by our guide.

Piles of coffee bags!

These paintings are made of actual coffee beans. The third one with a blue background is former president Obama. (he was at that time.)

They gave us a few cups of coffee to try, and I loved it! We bought coffee worth $100, ground and packed. I gave them to family and coworkers when I got back home.

The guide also took us to a big mall in Seminyak called Centro Mall.

My brother loves bracelets made of little seashells and wooden beads, so I got it for less than $10 here. (although it wore off after a few weeks 😆) Don't expect anything special here. Maybe spices...? They have a spice set which has 10+ wrapped in plastic bags so you can try them. Like cumin, nutmeg, and chili.

Our meals at the mall.  Fairly cheap.

Seminyak, Bali DAY 1-3

Hi! Ray and I went to Bali for honeymoon. We stayed at a pool villa called One Eleven, and it was pretty amazing...

My first time staying at a private pool villa :D

The reason why we chose this villa was because of its modern design and private, relaxing atmosphere.

This is the bathroom inside next to the bedroom. The staff gave us toiletries like shampoo, sunblock, mosquito repellents, etc. They even filled the bathtub with roses on our arrival :)

Every day a chef came in and cooked us breakfast :)

The staff also gave us a cake every day... yummy

Overall the food was very delicious and fruits fresh. If you want more fruit, try the snakeskin fruit, dragon fruit and guava at a local supermarket.

Ray enjoying his private pool :D

Seminyak is a tourist area, so you can walk into any store and speak English. The pizza below was at a restaurant called Rumour.

One Eleven remembered Ray's birthday and prepared us dinner.

Very romantic <3

Also visited this fancy bar called La Sicilia.

The music was pretty good. We were only there for less than an hour, but still enjoyed it.
