Uluwatu temple - temple by the cliff

Lots of reviews can be found on this top tourist spot. As usual, I have no idea what to expect... haha.

 The guide told us to be careful of our glasses, that the monkeys would come snatch it from us. In my mind, I thought, yau moe gum sai lai ah?? The monkeys must be daring to be upclose to snatch the glasses away right under our noses! I mean, on top, in this case. I brushed the warning aside thinking it's just ridiculous.

Didi meanwhile, took note of that warning VERY seriously.. haha. He took it off and told me to keep that for him in my bag. wokay....

 I was mesmerized by the view I saw as we climbed up to the spot overlooking the sea, slowly absorbing all the glory of nature and taking pictures of everything I saw. Eventually I caught up with the rest of the gang and there was a small commotion at the little rest area. Wtf! Hubs' glasses was REALLY snatched by a notorious monkey and I saw a local exchanging items with the monkey to get his glasses back for him. After several attempts, finally he got it back, but with some minor scratches and dents and saliva (yucks!) on it. Another local seller told us to pay the woman 50k rupiah for her help. We thought the monkeys were all well trained to snatch things from tourists. You can clearly see the monkeys were all well fed and so overweight.

Anyhow, after that experience, we had no mood to stay on longer. Even one of my SIL's phone was almost snatched from a monkey. They were SOOO notorious indeed. I saw it in action and fortunately she held her phone tight and the monkey failed in his mission.

I must say, that tourist attraction has its spectacular view indeed but not very well kept, unlike Tanah Lot. Rubbish were thrown around and monkeys, oh, did I already tell what about them? We didn't linger much here. I know the sunset would be breathtaking but the sky was overcast so I doubted if we stayed we would be able to catch the beautiful sunset.
