As I have been discharged by the hospital and am flying to Kupang tomorrow I decided I could spend today as a tourist. Dorothea kindly offered to take me on the motorbike to Tanah Lot. This is a Hindu temple set on a rock which is cut off from the mainland at high tide, it is situated on the opposite side of the island to Sanur. We managed to twice take wrong turns – not difficult as road signs are fairly limited and counting turnings is difficult as it is often hard to tell what is a road and what is the entrance to a rural home. The sand in this part of the island is black – in stark contrast to Sanur an
d Kuta where it is very white. We were lucky to be at Tanah Lot at high tide so saw the temple as it appears in all the photographs. We were planning to eat there but the prices were inflated for the tourists so we waited until we got back to Denpasar. We spent the afternoon on the beach at the second VSO beach games. In the evening we went to a bar in Sanur and then onto a club in Seminyak – there was a really good fusion band playing live.
