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

****************

This is truly the Island of the Gods even though Hinduism is the dominant religion (93.5% approx) other faiths exist across Bali. ..(1.4% Christian-Catholic & Protestant) the rest was Muslim.

First, we attend Sunday Mass (mass start at 7am) at Gereja Katolik Paroki Roh Kudus Babakan, Bali

yup, to thank God for given the power and blessing to visit this land. ;)

Breakfast after Sunday Mass at villa prepared by Ms Ketut.

Nice o this omelette with cheese.

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,

Our first stop of the day

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

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.

Bali - always in my heart

I just found this pending post in my draft.  Throwback February this year my trip to Bali, I just can't get enough of this place..

"Whosoever offers to Me with devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit, or water; that offering of love, of pure of heart, I accept.” (Lord Krishna teaches Arjuna how to pray in the Bhagavad Gita.)
