Pookie in Bali - Part 3

Pookie starts the day with a hearty breakfast.

And he's off again! Watching the countryside roll by from the air-conditioned comfort of the car.

What a hot hot day! Pookie stays in the shade to avoid an unwanted tan.

On the way to Tanah Lot. Pookie is fascinated by a mossy stone basin and the mini lily pads.

Pookie frolicks among the truckload of coconuts before they're devoured by thirsty tourists.

Finally! First glimpse of Tanah Lot!

Pookie poses for some must-have touristy shots of the scenic beach around Tanah Lot.

On the way back to the car, Pookie notices a familiar yet dubious sign.

The next temple had many little hats on the roof. Pookie wishes he had one of the hats to ward off the sun.

Lunch time! And so Pookie ends his Bali trip... with a yummy local dish - Babi Guling.

Pookie in Bali - Part 2

Pookie visits the Sacred Temple of the Holy Springs. He looks up in awe at the Temple Guard.

It's required to wear either a sarong and/or sash upon entering the temple. Following the locals, Pookie wears a sash too.

Next stop - Padi fields! Pookie had to be restrained from jumping into the terraces to look for his field mice cousins.

Found a good spot to have lunch overlooking the padi fields!

Leaving the padi fields, Pookie was tired out from the morning's excitement.

Ahhh... candlelight dinner by Jimbaran beach

And a relaxing beer afterwards

Part 3 up next! Pookie's final day in Bali.

Pookie in Bali - Part 1

Pookie took a short trip to Bali!

Waking up too early for a 7am flight, he had to be coaxed to take some breakfast at the airport.

In sunny Bali! Pookie found his mode of transport acceptable.

Thinking it was going to be a relaxing vacation of beach babes and surfing good times, Pookie didn't expect a 4 am climb up Mt Batur....

Resting at the first chance

But the scenery from the top was worth it! (ahhh.. the sunrise from behind Mt Agung would be prettier without the clouds).

Looking down at Lake Batur...

Pookie commemorates his trek by drinking soda in the good old fashioned way - from glass bottles!

Steam from the crater!

Ah.. it's a treacherous journey down. But Pookie felt safe in his little pouch.

Pookie vows to keep the secret and holiness of Mt Batur.

A visit to the spa after the trek! Pookie was content to lay down and rest.

Stay tuned for Part 2! Pookie visits the sacred temples.
