Indonesia — Bali; Tanah Lot back to Benoa
On Monday I promised some closer views of the small, rocky island of Tanah Lot and the temple that sits atop that island. Visit to Tanah Lot is prohibited, but if you get to the nearby black sand beach at low tide you can wade pretty close to it. Or, if you have a good zoom, you can keep your tennies dry and still get some great shots:
There’s some nice foliage in the area as well:
Time to head back to Benoa and rejoin MS Volendam for your last stop in Indonesia. I will end today with images of Benoa Bay and the city of Benoa as seen from our ship:

Indonesia — Bali; Pura Batu Bolong and Tanah Lot
Along the southeast coast of Bali reside two Hindu temples about 1,000 feet/300 meters apart. One is built on an outcropping that juts out into the Indian Ocean. The other sits atop the small island of Tanah Lot less than 100 feet/30 meters from shore. These temples are known as Pura Batu Bolong and Pura Tanah Lot. As you approach the area between the two you’ll find it easy to determine which is which:
As you can see below, this is a popular spot for the tourists:
Of the two Batu Bolong is the more important, as well as the more photogenic. The rock outcropping here has a hole in it:
But that’s not to say Pura Tanah Lot isn’t worth a view, because it most assuredly is:
The waves crashing onto Tanah Lot will give you a bit of drama:
Same for the nearby shoreline:
I’m going to present closer shots of Tanah Lot on Wednesday As for today, let’s concentrate on Pura Batu Bolong with these final two images:
