Batur Day with Christ & Amber
We start around 9 M from Ubud heading to Batur Volcano area.
Christ and Amber missed their breakfast in the hotel so we need to find a place to have late breakfast or early lunch. We went to a floating restaurant by the lake. It was nice breakfast with a very beautiful surrounding. The weather was perfect. The sky was blue above the Mount Batur and reflected nicely by the calm water of the lake.
After breakfast we drive closer to Mount Batur. We did a small walk to the volcanic hill to get a better view of sacred mountain. Our day continue to the spring temple of Tirta Empul. We saw people taking spiritual bathing as usual. Our next place is the rocky temple of Gunung Kawi. Playing and walking around the river was fun and romantic for Christ and Amber. On the way back to the car we made a visit to the house of an old wood carver. Christ gets a fine small wood carving from the wood carver that also serve as temple’s priest.
We continued our trip to Tegalalang rice terrace. We did a 10 minutes walk on the terraces while enjoying the view. After Tegalalang we drive to Mas Village. A parade of ladies carrying offering accompanied by gamelan was held as part of the temple ceremony. We end the day by a visit to Ubud monkey forest.

Been working as a Bali tour guide and driver for over 15 years. Still very much enjoy my work as I meet many different and interesting people. Things on the road are changing all the time and I would like to share some of those that I show. ------
Taking pictures have been a hobby for me for many years. Now, I am still struggling to make that a hobby as a job. Wish me luck please.
