Let's change the setting a little bit for now.
Let's not only change the climate and the people that live
there, but the continent. Let’s take our time to learn a little bit more about
our earth, and what it has to offer.
Now, we are going to talk about the amazing country of
Indonesia, specifically a city called Uluwatu, which is on the south-western
tip of the beautiful peninsula of Bukit-which is a smaller peninsula within a
bigger one(Bali). Uluwatu is home to the Pura Luhur Uluwatu Temple and is the
number four surf destination in the world for surfers of all abilities.
There a plenty of interesting and fun things to do in this
beautiful peninsula. Exploring the Bukit peninsula lends itself very well to a
rent motorbike. A number of the nicer beaches are reached via small roads or
dirt tracks and a motorbike is the best method. Motorbike or scooter give you
solution for jammed traffic.
Uluwatu Temple is one of Bali's nine key directional
temples. Though a small temple was claimed to have existed before, the
structure was significantly expanded by a Javanese sage, Empu Kuturan in the
11th Century. Even more remarkable than the temple itself is its location,
perched on a steep cliff 70 meters above the roaring Indian ocean waves. There
are more steep headlands on either side and sunsets over Uluwatu are a sight to be seen.
Uluwatu is a very well-known destination among surfing
enthusiasts. Most of the surf spots are only suitable for advanced or expert
surfers though - the waves are big here. The main surfing spots are Dreamland,
Padang-Padang, Bingin/Impossibles and Suluban.
