Leaving Java at Ketapang harbour we crossed the strait by ferry to Gilimanuk in West Bali then travelled along the coast to Lovina Beach. Tirta Empul, the sacred spring temple. Devotees come from all over the island to collect the holy water and take ritual ablutions in the bathing pools fed by the holy spring. In a valley along the Pakrisan River we visited the Gunung Kawi Royal Tombs. There were nine enormous shrines carved into the side of a pituresque valley, memorials to the 11th century King Anak Wungsu and his wives. On the way to Tanah Lot we visited the wood carving village of Mas. Bali woodcarvers are very skilled and carve without using sketches. They use maple, ebony, crocodile wood, sandal wood, and hibiscus tree wood which gives a beautiful two colour effect. At Tampaksiring we tasted the most expensive coffee in the world thanks to the civet cat. Kopi Luwak is made from coffee beans eaten, partly digested and then excreted by the Common palm civet. Pura Tanah Lot is a temple set on a small island 1oom off the coast accessable at low tide and along the nearby coast other temples and shrines including Pura Batu Bolong reached by a natural rock bridge. Tanah Lot is a very popular place to view sunset. Ubud is the artistic and cultural centre of Bali and a great place to spend a few days. We wandered around the streets admiring the architecture and peering through intricate doorways to glimpse the hidden worlds behind the walled enclosures.
