Bali 2010 Part TWO

Bingin Beach is home to some of the most famous surf spots in Indo, one in particular called "Impossible" ..... Enrico in fact lost 2 fins from 2 separate sets here and wasn't too happy about the damage done! I wasn't able to get any other pictures because I was too busy, well let's just face it.... too busy relaxing!


We had the best Nasi-Goreng (Indonesian fried rice) here yet!

Secret views of the beach...

We also went to Tanah Lot;
Tanah-Lot is a rock formation off the Indonesian island of Bali. It is home of a pilgrimage temple. Tanah Lot means "Land in the Sea" in Balinese language. Located in Tabanan, about 20 km from Denpasar, the temple sits on a large offshore rock which has been shaped continuously over the years by the ocean tide.

The stone carved lanterns were just to DIE for! Next time we're going to fill a cargo container and ship everything we can't carry on board!
The sunset just kept on getting better, and better.....
Just happy to be here!
