Ok so for the last few days we have doing our own kind of worship as we paddle out through the rocks, praying that we timed the set right, that the current takes us out to the right spot, that we pick a clean wave that doesn't close-out, and for me, that one time I got stuck in the impact zone at a low tide, that I could somehow get out of that predicament without dinging the board or scraping up my legs on the rocks (which I did), but we also took a break and traveled a short distance further west to visit a temple, Pura Rambut Siwi, which was located right on the beach.
Actually the temple consisted of 6 different ceremonial locations, 5 of which lined the cliffside and the last one was right out on the sand.
When we arrived we were clothed in sarongs with special sashs and a groundskeeper/guide walked us around. We were the only visitors and he even mentioned that they really don't see too many tourists. One thing Bali is not short on is temples. There are temples in every town and practically on every corner. Not to mention that each home tends to have its own smaller temple or place of worship.
