Bali Day 2 - Pura Besakih & Kintamani

We reached Pura Besakih finally. Great scene as expected and most of the artifact still remain originally. The sacred Mt. Agung is at the back of Pura Besakih. As usual, there are many steps for ancient hindu temple, same as Pura Besakih too. (Anyway, it consider much more lesser compare to Angkor Wat, and the steps in Besakih were easier to climb.)

Guess what was this made of? It was all made of rice! Amazing! Balinese are always good in art and craft. Its all shown in their daily life activities, including their offering ceremony which is part of their most important event in life.

After a long walk in Besakih, we decided to go to another famous spot nearby, the Kintamani Volcano. We reached the viewing spot just before the sunset. It was so beautiful, and hey... it was my first time seeing valcano in real! lol! So sampat!

Bali Day 2 - On the way to Pura Besakih

It was a long day for my second day in Bali, thus I devide it to 2 parts. Our main destination was to Pura Besakih, the biggest and important temple in Bali.

We started our journey in a pleasant morning, everything was so beautiful in Bali. They like to arrange flowers in many ways and everywhere. I took this picture in my hotel's lobby, red roses petals and egg flowers floating on water in a wide round glass plate.

We had our 'brunch' at a paddy field side restaurant, my 'tam chiak' dear was happily satisfied by the delicious asam fish head and natural breeze.

A farmer was working on the paddy field, it was real and not a show. It had been a long time I never see this scenery in Malaysia. What a great memory recall!

After the meal, we continue our journey, it took almost 2 hours to the destination. I took this photo on the road, there were many tall bambo sticks with yellow 'flag'. I guessed it was something related to the balinese hinduism custom.

When almost reach Pura Besakih, we saw a house holding wedding ceremony. The Balinese use a lot of leaf weaving to decorate their house on the ceremony.

Their handcrafts were so neat and beautiful. I really loved to learn weaving from them if I could stay for 1 month. lol!

I shot the wedding car too, it was not so pretty decorated, but I liked the way they kept in their balinese hinduism style.
