when sun almost down, we can see the kecak dance show...
The Kecak Dance while look this sunset is every night performed and very popular.
About 50 male choruses like "Cak Cak Cak..." are rhythmical. In addition, demon king Rahwana or white monkey Hanoman are approach the seat and shake hands with a spectator, take a photograph pose... very interesting.
The fire dance by Hanoman is performed at the end of dance,too.

Temple on the edge of the cliff
4 more images

This temple is one of the oldest and most sacred temples in Bali with an absolutely fantastic view out over the Indian ocean from the top of some huge cliffs.
It's a great cultural experiance to walk through this old temple with a local person who can explain the layout and significance of the various sections of it.
Local dances are held here most nights too.
There are lots of cheeky monkeys here running around so be very careful with your stuff like glasses, cameras, and hats... etc

The Ingredients

If you’re stationed at the Bukit
while visiting Bali,
and desire a luxurious pampering,
but don’t want to drive down
to the Bali downtown,
then opt a spa session at the Calyx.

Prices are not cheap here,
but if you have the cash
or that special occasion,
then this spa may be a treat.

This venue composed of several villas,
restaurant and bar, and spa, also offers a hair salon.

Massage rooms are facing the sea,
perched on the cliff with a relaxing terrace
to sip your ginger tea.

The adjacent bathtub,
makes it a perfect romantic experience!

Exotic Animals

I can't remember exactly the name of the place, but I know it's on our way from Uluwatu to Bedugul. There is this highway that has a lot of endangered species of animals.

They are extra huge and I never dared touch it as I have this serious fear of exotic animals - huge snakes, bats, monitor lizards, iguanas, and anything slimy.

For a small fee, they let you hold or play with it and take photos.

Healing in Bali

I FEEL GOOD!

With Bali’s mystical powers,
you might just get the urge
to do a little good for yourself.

A cleanse?
Or a DETOX
to refresh yourself internally?
Why not?

After a few consultations,
and following the advice
on holistic remedies
of a local nutritionist,
I myself am so thankful
for the wonderful improvements
that I feel and see in my health
and on my body.

Not only have I witness and lived
a major weight loss, glowing skin,
and an improvement on my health issues,
but I have also witnessed a friend of mine,
cure herself of a tumor of which
the western doctors had advised her to operate on.

A large part of the treatment is based on nutrition
and another part on holistic remedies.

Despite on how intense you want to go for it,
you will definitely walk out of the consultation
learning and understanding a lot more
about how your body relies on good nutrition.

You will also learn how to replace
the bad habits with good ones.

Consultations at the time of my visit
cost 600,000 Rp and last 2-3 hours.

Surfer Dude Watching

Sufer Dude in the horizon

Ladies,….around Uluwatu
you’ll find great beaches,
amazing landscapes,
temples to visit,
monkies to observe
AND Surfer Dude Watching.

Bring your binoculars if
your into the macro view.

Some of the best looking guys
from various parts of the world
come and visit Bali, just to surf.

You most probably will not find them
in the common tourist attraction,
since their attraction are THE WAVES!

Yes Ladies, these guys come to the Bukit
to work out there 6 packs, abs,
triceps’s, back muscles, etc. etc.

But don’t expect too much
hanky panky action either.

Not only do these addicted surfers
spend a large part of the day,
hypnotized looking at the waves,
but with their early to bed
and early to rise schedule
is also accompanied by:

1) Extreme physical workout through out the days.
Leaving them with the NO Libido effect.

In fact, in many cases, they loose the ability
to recognize what a woman is,
even in a tiny winy bikini,
when in full trance observing
the waves or riding them.

2) They acquire the loss of interest
to shave and smell good.

3) They have the tendency to lodge
them selves as cheaply as they can.
Low extravagances.

This may include squat toilets,
sharing the room with 5 other Surfer Dudes
no hot shower, bug bites from the bed, etc.

4) A hefty appetite, which may come along
with natural gas leaks (LOL!) that emerge
from getting the common Bali Beli.

5) And let’s not forget,
but also, usually on a very tight budget.

But other wise,
a little bit of Surfer Dude Watching
is definitely a delightful option of ‘Things to do.’

Remedial Deep Tissue Massage
balisunshine profile photo
balisunshine 1008 reviews
It's all in the touch

One of the great pleasures of Bali,
is getting a massage.

The cheapest ones are
usually the local women on the beach,
but they usually offer more of
a soft touchy massage.

For the sporty athlete looking for
a Deep Tissue Massage,
there is Mr. Tendon that
works in the Bukit area.

His services include;
pressure point, reflexology,
posture adjustment, and lymphatic drainage.

If you need a serious adjustment,
it maybe wiser to visit a
certified chiropractor located in Kuta.

If not, for a bit of relief
after a long days of surf,
Mr. Tendon may just be the answer.

At the time of my meeting him,
his price was 150,000 Rp for
a 1 hour session
