Pura Tirta Empul

My long forgotten Bali entries! I have to say I miss Bali. A lot. Partly was because I planned this entire trip on where to go, the food to eat and place to stay. It feels really good to be doing the homework because you actually discover more from that. My sources basically came from LYN Forum as well as various write ups by bloggers. That was how I came to discover Pura Tirta Empul. Pura which also means temple is highly recommended by everyone who have been to Bali.

The symbolic place in Pura Tirta Empul where many came in the pool filled with sacred water. They will first make an offering and pray in the temple before bathing in the pool.

There are a few different pools of the sacred water and each pool serves a different purpose such as healing sickness and for better health

The correct way of doing it is basically to wash from head first

The water source from the pool came from this pool at the back. The water actually came from the underwater fountain.

The underwater fountain

We had to put on the cloth to cover our legs since we're all wearing shorts and skirts as a sign of respect

They have really beautiful carvings on their entrance/doors

Spotted a huge spider which has it's web in between the entrance

Love this picture, can't resist to post it up. My block dress looks so colourful in contrast with the door.

Spotted the perfect place for lunch; Pizza Bagus in Ubud town. You just have to try it. It is recommended by a lot of people too.

Pizza Bagus gives the cosy homey feeling =)

This greeted us when we walked in.

Look at the various types of cheese they have!

We were a little off the lunch time so it was pretty quiet.

I cannot remember the name of the pizzas we ordered but boy it was really good.

I remembered this one came with the blue cheese and it was yummeh!

Their mushroom soup was thick with mushrooms. Some may not like it that way.

Last but not least...

Ahh...how I looked so different with my hair long.
