Day 136
Goa Gajah
November 5, 2019 in Indonesia ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C
🇬🇧🇮🇩
Today we took a long 4.7 kilometer walk to Goa Gajah - another temple in Ubud.
It was nice but very dirty - for now the four of us have seen enough temple. 😂
This afternoon Vany is going to join the group 😍.

🇩🇪
Heute sind wir zu Goa Gajah gelaufen. Entlan der heißen Straßen dauerte die 4.7 Kilometer lange Wanderung ca eine Stunde. Der Tempel war schön, aber schmutzig. Wir vier sind uns einig, zunächst haben wir genug von Tempeln. 😂
Heute Nachmittag kommt Vany an und ergänzt die Truppe 😍.Read more

Day 4
Beware of ripoff guides.
March 18 in Indonesia ⋅ ☁️ 31 °C
Goa Gajal is a cave carved with the face of an elephant about 400 years ago. Inside there is shrine with 3 linga sculptures ie penis sculptures. Traditional in Indian Hindu culture but rare in Balinese culture. Outside are 6 sculptures of women with water fountains on their chests which are believed to provide an aura of purification for visitors if splashed 3 times on their head.
All of this can be found on Wikipedia but the guides there ask for IDR 300,000 or AUD $30 to tell you that. And some people paid it.Read more

Day 4
Tag 4 - Sonntag Teil 2
September 17, 2023 in Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
Am Nachmittag hätten wir theoretisch Freizeit für Diesdas gehabt.

Die optionle Elefantenhöhle Goa Gajah? Top! Ich überrede den Guide Yonannes uns alle mit dem Bus dorthin zu fahren. Selbstredend zahlen wir den Eintritt selber..... aber wenn wir schon mal da sind.

Zusammenfassung: Im 11ten Jahrhundert als Heiligtum gebaut - später vergessen und von Holländern wieder entdeckt um 1923.

Kurzer Nachtrag: Bali ist eine Insel ohne Klobürsten. Als Ersatz hängt der übliche Wasserschlauch mit Düse neben dem WC an der Wand.
... Es ist halt wie es ist :-)

Fazit des Tages:
2.500.000,00 INR gezogen und .... puff .... weg sind sie.
Gönn-Dir-Reisen ?

Fahrstrecke: 35 km
Übernachtung: Champlung Sari*** in UbudRead more

Day 36
Goa Gajah
May 1, 2023 in Indonesia ⋅ ☁️ 84 °F
After the waterfalls we visited a Hindu temple where our guide instructed us how to use the holy water to bring us health and reduce stress. It definitely felt good on a day that reached over 100 degrees! We also learned that not only do you have to be covered, but that women have to wear sashes if not in a sarong specifically. Always learning!Read more

Ein weiterer Tag in Ubud

Unser Taxifahrer hat wohl schon den ganzen Morgen auf uns gewartet 😂 wir sind dann auch eine halbe Stunde früher als abgemacht losgefahren. Zuerst gings zu der Elefantenhöhle, Tempelanlage. Danach fuhren wir in Richtung Tegellalang Reisterrassen. Da wir etwas früh dran waren, hielten wir noch bei einer Kaffeeplantage um die schöne Aussicht zu geniessen und verschiedene Tee- und Kaffeesorten auszuprobieren. Diese Kaffees gibts wohl wirklich an jeder Ecke und die Balinesen sind sehr stolz auf ihren Luwakkaffee. Ehrlich gesagt tun uns die Tiere leid, da sie in winzig kleinen Käfigen mit Gitterboden gehalten werden ohne jegliche Rückzugsmöglichkeiten.
Um die Mittagszeit waren wir dann bei den Tegellalang Reisterrassen. Diese sind wunderschön, aber halt einfach sehr überlaufen von Touristen und man muss schon Glück haben ein Foto ohne andere Menschen drauf zu machen 🤷🏻‍♀️ schön wars trotzdem 😉
Nun steht aber etwas Entspannung auf dem Programm. Wir gönnen uns etwas Luxus im Royal Pita Maha Resort mit eigenem Pool, Massage und 3- Gänge Menü zum Znacht.Read more

Day 3
Goa Gajah, Hidden Canyon + - Bali Day 3
December 26, 2019 in Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
Another long day trip today, especially with the crazy traffic. Bali is definitely not built to handle the volume of tourism it gets, both domestic and international.

The day started with Hidden Canyon and probably the toughest 90 minute hike I have ever done. Up a deep canyon scrambling over slippy rock formations, clinging to the canyon edge with small hand and foot holds and wading sometimes through chest high water. Well worth it though for the stunning rock formations and views; despite being soaked from head to toe. I tried to get some photos without the obligatory selfie takers or Instagrammers, but couldn't really avoid them as we stopped every few hundred yards to wait for the 'shots,' from the most photogenic places.

Then it was off to Tennungun Waterfall a stunning fall at the bottom of a steep descent with steps and obligatory selfie spots along the way. Heart shaped cane seats seem to be the in thing, there everywhere.

After the Waterfall it was off to Goa Gajah temple and the 'elephant rock' cave temple carved from solid rock. Pretty impressive despite all the tourists.

Stopped for a nice lunch in Ubud somewhere before heading to the rice terraces. Terraced rice paddies that have been very touristyfied with swings, ropeway slides across the valley and lots of heart shaped selfie spots.

Last stop was another coffee plantation. Well worth it for another strong shot of Luwak poop coffee :-)

Traffic heading back was a nightmare and the 1 hr twenty trip going up morphed into an almost 3 hour journey back.

Remind me not to come to Bali during holiday season again...

Great day though.Read more
Terry Borchers Considering how things are moving here with hoards of people showing up Sunday and the hours of preparation for that . . . I would much rather be with you on Bali. I've only wanted to go there for about the past 35 years. Still haven't made it., so I am envying your photos and adventure tales :-)

Day 159
"Goa Gajah" Tempel (Elefantenhöhle)
August 21, 2018 in Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
Das Heiligtum Goa Gajah (auch Elefantenhöhle genannt) bei Ubud, das bekannt dafür ist, dass man durch einen in Stein gemeisselten Dämonenschlund zur Gottesstatue Ganesh durchdringt, faszinierte nicht nur durch eine imposante und außergewöhnliche Tempelanlage. Es waren auch die tüchtigen Frauen und Männer, die non-stop Körbe flochten, Blumenschmuck erstellten, Opfergaben und Speisen zubereiteten. Man hätte ihnen stundenlang zusehen können.

Auch sehr imposant war das angrenzende Parkgelände, das leise Bäche, tosende Wasserfälle, tausend Jahre alte Bäume mit riesigem Wurzelwerk, mit Wasserlilien wunderschön bewachsene Teiche und vieles mehr noch zu bieten hatte. Dieses Areal lud zum Meditieren und Verweilen ein. Séb liess sich auch in einem kleinen Tempel segnen und trug ganz stolz eine Blume im Haar und Reiskörner auf der Stirn. 🙏🏼Read more

We arrived yesterday at 4:30pm. Our flight was late leaving Melbourne so we were an hour late getting into Denpasar. Our lovely driver, Suriarni, was waiting patiently and with a beaming smile on his face. I love how nothing fazes the Balinese people.
After almost two hours of driving we arrived at Bliss Ubud. We were greeted by the lovely Christina in a warm embrace.
We got the general run-down of the place and then went for our first massage. Once again my therapist, Aya, was amazing! Then a quick shower ready for a Bliss dinner. The food is totally delicious and created with care and love.
An early night followed for this tired and weary body.
Looking forward to my first full day of doing nothing tomorrow.Read more

Well today was pretty tough. The day started with a wonderful breakfast (homemade granola, yoghurt and banana, healthy smoothie, Mellow Yellow & coffee, of course!)
A morning Reiki session with the lovely Esther. A one and half hour session that went for two hours. I wasn’t too sure what to expect but I came away with more realizations about myself and some home truths that I haven’t dealt with from the past. Esther is a true healer! She is thoughtful and comforting and reassuring through every aspect of the session. I’m so happy that I booked this session!

My afternoon was spent with treatments (body scrub & manicure) and then an afternoon by the pool and a nanna nap before dinner. After an emotional morning I was ready for an early night to recharge and be ready for a new day.Read more
