4/12/14 Kalibaru to Tanah Lot

Left Kalibaru at 8.00 about 1.5 hrs driving we arrived at the ferry. Left the van and walked onto the ferry, I heard some shouting over the side, there was a snorkeler in the water asking us to throw coins so he could retrieve them, it amused me for a while. It  took about an hour for the short voyage as we had to wait for a berth. Once ashore we piled into two vans for the long journey to Tanah Lot. It wasn't far but at 40km/hr average speed it was long. Our hotel was at Tanah Lot so we dropped our bags then headed down to the beach for the spectacular sunset over the temples, that least that was the plan, the reality was it was raining, it happens.
Tanah Lot is a strange place to stay, it is full of tourists and has a packed market place until just after sunset, then it empties fast, the shops close and it becomes a ghost town.
