Tanah Lot:- Walk eight hours up and back from Kuta to this pagoda-like temple sitting on an eroded rock offshore. Reach it also from Kediri by taking a side road which ends on a green hill that slopes down to the beach. (Snakes sleep in the rocky holes along the beach.) Tanah Lot looks like a Chinese painting. Ironically, this temple was built by one of the last priests to come to Bali from Java, Sang Hiyang Nirarta, a man remembered for his successful efforts in strengthening the religious beliefs of the people. Anything even faintly resembling a spiritual atmosphere is dissipated by money-obsessed Balinese at the temple who ask you for money to park your bike (Rp25), hire a sash to enter ('It's up to you.'), enter the temple, and at the Shiva shrine in the temple ('It's up to you.')
