Thank you. It's been so lovely and memorable. Everyone has been so helpful & friendly. I look forward to my return (oo OOhh.. :D).

Breakfast after Sunday Mass at villa prepared by Ms Ketut.
Nice o this omelette with cheese.



The Soul Villa Canggu
What a wonderful place to stay. Super clean and very quiet.
nice eh. 3 bedrooms and only two of us occupy this villa, how cool...
Love everything about this villa, the design, the wood craving detail,
the swimming pool
(I've been testing swimming pool ph the pass 10 yrs - so i know how good the water is hehe),
jacuzzi, the window with spectacular view of Canggu paddy field.
..and the three of them, Wayan, Ketut & (ah i forgot his name) the caretaker.

Our first stop of the day
Lake Side View Kedisan Floating Restaurant & Water Sport - Bali
(nice food)
Kedisan is a small rural village on the edge of Lake Batur, under the shadow of the magnificent active volcano Mt Batur.
Kedisan is in the Kintamani region in the district of Bangli, 2.5 hours from Denpasar Airport

next..Tirta Empul Temple
Hinduism in Indonesia is primarily associated with Bali.
Hindu believers in the early 1990s were relatively few outside of Bali,
where they made up more than 93.5 percent of the population

Healing Power of Water

Tirtha Empul Temple located at Bali central part Tampak Siring district.
Tirta means "The holy water" in Indonesian language.
The source of the water is from the sacred spring in the middle area.
Hindu society in Bali believe that this water source can heal various of diseases, hence every day this place is a lot of visited by Hindu people to do the ritual and sanctify them self .
This place has been opened for public and as a famous tourist destination in Bali.
