Pura Aman Ayun and more temples

We spent our honeymoon in Indonesia (Java and Bali) back in 2001. Friends of ours were living there at that time. I am working on this blog right now.

Pura Aman Ayun and more temples

Butter Statue, Bali
Ok, this entry is for all the other temples we visited. I m not even sure whether we visited all of them on one single day. Probably not. Since that would have taken too much time. One of temples was "Aman Ayun" in Mengwi. Another one perhaps "Goa Lawah". It was time to wear my Sarong again. :-) The most fascinating thing I remember were the butter statues in one particular temple. Unbelievable, had never seen something like that before. Well, some pictures years ago. But this was reality. Everything was incredibly colorful and detailed. Wonderful.

There was one drawback. During our whole drive we did not see a photogenic rice terrace. The only one that caught my eye turned out to be a nut plantation
(see the picture)! At least it had been used as a rice terrace earlier. :-D
