    Tanah Lot - Bali Temple in the sea

    This is the most visited tourist destination in Bali. Tanah Lot Temple stands on a large solid coral rock overlooking Indian Ocean. Lots of people come here to watch the beautiful sunset.

    This rock has a cave where there is a source of natural spring water. Hindus people believe this is holy water with magic power. You can drink it or wash your face with it. After that, you will be blessed with bija (prayer) and given a jepun flower.

    I did have two mouthful of the holy water and wash my face with it. I enjoyed the beautiful sea views, sunset as well as the sound of the ocean.

    峇里島的海神廟是公認必去的景點之一。大多數的旅客都會選擇在黃昏的時候來,可以順道欣賞美麗的日落。

    海神廟座落在一塊巨大的礁岩上,下方有個洞穴,穴內有天然泉水,當地人民視為聖水。入境隨俗的我當然要過去喝它幾口聖水,洗滌我不夠乾淨的心靈,去除我身上大大小小的病痛。喝完聖水後,他們給我一個簡單的祈福儀式,並在我左耳邊上插上一朵峇厘島雞蛋花。

    15年前我在法國北方小鎮喝了哪裡非常著名的聖水,15年後在印尼峇里島喝了這裡的聖水。我希望還有機會再過15年,能夠旅遊到另一處喝那兒的聖水。
