Tanah Lot from the hotel721 viewsThe hotel was very close to Tanah Lot, one of the holiest Hindu temples in Bali. The temple is built on top of a rock, standing in the sea. This picture was taken from part of the golf course associated with the hotel.

Jungut Batu on Nusa Lembongan663 viewsOn Wednesday 22nd October, we made our way to Sanur, where we stayed at Agung and Sue's Watering Hole, a low-price backpacker-style hotel with an excellent budget restaurant. From there we caught the early morning (8am) boat to Jungut Batu on the island of Nusa Lembongan.

Rangda attacks the Prime Minister595 viewsThe white-haired creature with long finger nails is the Rangda, a witch. Witches always wear stripey trousers (which should make them easy to spot).

Ferry to Sanur from Nusa Lembongan542 viewsThe journey out to Nusa Lembongan made us both feel seasick, but the jouney back, although much rougher, didn't have the same effect. It could be that we had a better place on the boat.

|
The Funan IT Mall, Singapore497 viewsOn the last day of our honeymoon (30th October) we did loads of shopping in Singapore. Nigel went off to the Funan Mall, an amazing shopping mall with 6 floors of shops, mostly computer-related. A dangerous place for anyone with a weakness for gadgets!

|
The dance theatre at Batubulan489 viewsThe dance took place in a dedicated theatre. As far as I can tell this was a traditional Balinese theatre, with the split gate at the back of the stage, in front of a temple-like structure. The audience sits in tiered rows.
|
|
Sunset from Bungalow Number 7, Jungut Batu, Nusa Lembongan489 viewsWe stayed on Nusa Lembongan for only one night. We both hope to go back there for longer. We stayed at Bungalow Number 7 (which is actually a collection of bungalows). The facilities are basic, but you get a (cold) shower, a fan and a bed. The island only has electricity between 3pm and 8am, so the fan doesn't work outside those hours.
|
|
Boogie Run489 viewsThe Boogie Run (wider track) is a side by side slide, where you go down the slide head-first lying face down on a mat. Vic and I went on this together and agreed it was pretty good, and not as extreme as the others shown on here.
