If we have loved the Island of Gods, the pearl of Indonesia, which has had such great tourist success for many years now, we can't deny that it is suffering for its fame. The environment is deteriorating year by year, mainly due to the plague of plastic which is everywhere and which the government does nothing about. Rubbish is not treated and the plastic remains.

No to plastic

Catch nature unawares as she wakes up...or at least that's what it feels like when you are on the wonderful 2,329 metre high Mount Bromo, on the east of the island of Java. An absolutely spectacular and unforgettable moment.  If you don't appreciate nature then don't bother!

Uluwatu temple is home to monkey thieves. The clever animals stole a pair of glasses from us and the custodian sold us some lychees so we could make an exchange. We got our property back without too much trouble and continued our visit.
We traipsed around the temple and climbed to the top, passing some calmer monkeys on the way. The temple has a fantastic view of the sea and the cliffs. The only problem is that, according to the Hindu religion, women who are having their period are not allowed to enter the temple...
Uluwatu is also a surfing village with a slightly bohemian feel to it. It is really pleasurable to enjoy the view and the relaxed atmosphere while eating your breakfast in a warung in the cliff. Everyone knows each other here, and you quickly start to feel at home...it was difficult to leave to continue <a href="/indonesia/">our journey around Indonesia!</a>

Uluwatu's temple and surfing village along the cliffs.

Even though the interior of Uluwatu temple is closed to the (non-Hindu) public, you need to wear a sarong to visit, as is often the case in Bali. Here, it's included in the ticket price.As you can't go into the temple, you go around it, and in the end the main attraction seems to be the multitude of little monkeys that are everywhere along the cliffs, which will certainly please the little ones if you are travelling with your family. Be careful about your glasses, cameras, etc. - there is a sign at the entrance, but I'm also going to remind you, the monkeys are skilful thieves!Then there is the view, with a black sand beach below, and that very Balinese view of the Uluwatu Temple in the background. The ideal moment to go there is at sun set.

Uluwatu is on Bali's southern point and the main reason people go there is to visit the temple perched on the cliff.
