Taman Ayun Temple - Ulundanu Temple - Alas Kedaton - Tanah Lot Temple - Kuta Square
It was still raining although I prayed not to rain when we were going to the tourist destination.
At night, we went to shopping in Kuta Square. Just when we saw ROXY 90%, we forgot our dinner. I manage to get a Double Dutch White Colour bag, which had 60% at that moment. Price after discount is 170,000 rupiah. Hehe, later, we have our dinner at KFC.
Our first place was Taman Ayun Temple. We actually could not go into the temple because it was a sacred place. However, we could only see the temple from outside. Because it was raining, it affected my mood to snap good pictures. In fact, I was reluctant to use my camera. There were beautiful temple building with multistory roof and Balinese Architecture, which were all my favourite.

Before going to Ulundanu Temple, we stopped at the roadside for buffet lunch. The type of buffet lunch was almost the same kind, and the food was not served in Balinese style, which was quite boring. By the way, rain plus hill make me feel cold outside the restaurant of the buffet lunch, until I shivered.

We thought due to the rain and the traffic, we would skip some places, but actually not. Our next destination after lunch is Ulundanu Temple. This was also a beautiful temple which I always saw in the internet, and finally today, I could see the scenery by my own eyes. In some place, we were not allowed to go into some places. I like I like I like this place! Did not know how to express my affectation to this place. ^^

After the visit at Ulundanu Temple, we bought a box of strawberry which sold at the road side, for 20,000 rupiah. Sweet and juicy strawberry. We wondered why Bali strawberry was not exported to Malaysia, because this would be cheaper than those imported from Australia and Korea.

Next, we were heading towards Alas Kedaton. At first, I thought that the Alas Kedaton was the same place as Monkey Forest that we visited yesterday. However, when we reached only we knew was different. There were monkeys, bats and snake at there. The monkey at there had make us not know whether to cry or laugh. See the pictures below:

The most important view of today's trip was to the Tanah Lot Temple. Traffic jam had caused had took most of our time to reach day, and the raining and cloudy day prevented us to view the beautiful sunset at the Tanah Lot Temple. The day almost dark when we were there. However, the crowd of tourist did not ceased. In fact, we need to walk down the car before the car get its parking lot. We went to drink the Holy Water, and the people there help us to wear a yellow flower on my hair plus stick something on my head. The holy snakes that we wished to see also had been gone from the place from where they stayed (The snake will back to their place during day time, according to Gede).

Dad and mum asked me to shop at Tanah Lot there, but I guessed there was no time for us to shop, as there were far more traffic jam behind us.
And beyond my guess limit, we had stucked in the traffic for 3 hours and the half, before we could get back to Tune Hotel Kuta.
