Uluwatu 2

The accommodation here at Batu Jaran Hill is most pleasant. It has an infinity pool that overlooks a gully. It’s not particularly picturesque but I did mention that this is an arid part of the world. There’s virtually no natural water supply so water is trucked in from Denpasar. Two loads were brought here yesterday and they say it only happens on a Friday. I asked because I had to move the car twice in the short time I was here.

Yesterday we went to a bar on the path that leads down the cliff at Uluwatu. Incredible views and decent food. We go back a little later today (18^th) to try and catch a sunset.

The walk to the shops from our accommodation is only a few hundred meters so we went there for brunch today. Then early afternoon we headed of in search of Finn’s Beach Club and/or Karma Resort. Rather than facing west, they face south with sandy beaches more suited to swimming.

We got lost many times and ‘discovered’ places we’d never been to before. We didn’t actually get to either beach but we did get to a cliff top and saw what we think was Finn’s Beach Club. We must have been 300 feet up the cliff with stairs leading down. Uluwatu involved a climb of 106 steps yesterday and I’m sure this would have been many more. Further along from where we were standing we could see a  xxxxxxxx taking passengers up and down to the beach. Hopefully the photos do a better job than my words in describing the area.

Life’s tough here at Batu Jaran Hill. The American girl next door with a sensational body keeps getting massages on the verandah in her bikini. The Aussie guys in rooms 1 & 2 have two good looking local women sharing with them, there’s two yanks at the pool, one of whom is either in a G string or has her pants hitched high. I have to keep telling myself that whilst they might be younger than Heather, prettier than Heather, sexier than Heather and smarter than Heather, even better navigators than Heather…….they’re not Heather. My Love.

We’re now back from watching the sunset from Single Fin at Uluwatu. Too much cloud but it was nice to watch darkness fall and the fishing boats going out to sea. From there we went to Ulu Resto for dinner. Very pleasant.

I think that the views from Uluwatu are the best in Bali. Anyone coming to Bali should include Uluwatu in their planning.
