Sightseeing in Bali ->Amed Beach,
Pura Beji, Pura Maduwe Karang 
|
This tour
is done best starting form the east of Bali. You should get up early and
drive through Amlapura to Amed Beach. On the way you can make a stop
at Taman Ujung Water Palace. There is not much left of the buildings
but it is a very quiet and peaceful place with ducks and geese swimming in
the lake and buffaloes grazing and shadowy trees.
Amed beach is a black sand beach with clear water in the shadow
of Mount Agung, where snorkeling is very good. The fishermen use small
outrigger boats that are painted in bright colours. You can
see them lying on the sand. The landscape here is different from the rest
of Bali; it is dry and rocky and the sky is always deep blue. On the east
coast the main agriculture are large fruit plantations whose owners
enjoy a relative wealth. You will see houses built of stone instead of the
wooden huts in other parts of the island, and a lot of satellite bowls on
the roofs. You follow the road along to coast up to Kubutambahan near Singaraja
in the north where you can visit Pura Beji and Pura Maduwe Karang.
Both temples are remarkable because of the ornate and detailed stone carvings
in the gates and statues.
The Pura Maduwe Karang stone carvings include also modern elements,
for instance a dutchman on a flower-wheeled bicycle (see picture above).
From Pura Maduwe Karang drive on to Singaraja and to Lovina Beach and have a late lunch. One the way back you can make a short excursion to the Gitgit Waterfalls, a large waterfall in a valley with clove trees (that is usually very crowded with visitors. |
