Bedugul

Bedugul is a mountain lake resort area in Bali. There are several lakes here such as Lake Bratan, Lake Buyan and Lake Tamblingan. The weather here is quite mild compared to the other areas in Bali and I really enjoyed it. 
A view overlooking Lake Bratan.  
Pictured here is Pura Ulun Danu Beratan. A very famous Hindu temple in Bali. It is pictured on the Indonesian 50,000 Rupiah banknote. 
This particular day was very, very bright making it difficult to take photos. It was also filled with tourists, even if you don't really see it here. There were a LOT of people. 
Men fishing. 
On the way to our accommodations, we saw monkeys chilling on the side of the road eating fruits. 
We gave them some bread too and they were very happy. Just be careful around them as they can become pretty aggressive. 
Gitgit waterfalls. We couldn't stay here long because it was already after sunset, but it was quite nice. A tiring hike back up to the top however, lots and lots of steps. 
We found a good spot for sunset. This is Lake Buyan.
Right beside is Lake Tamblingan. 
In this pano you can see how they are located side by side. 
This is my favourite picture of the trip. We stayed at Anaheim Villa Lake Buyan. It used to be a luxurious villa complex but it is now under restoration. The place has an eerie, abandoned feel to it. It reminded me of camping. The man who takes care of the place says that one time he heard noises in the kitchen and found it in disarray...hmmmm
The next morning we went to see the sunrise but it wasn't that remarkable. 
The edge of the villa property is being used to farm vegetables and flowers. 
Here we picked our own carrots and chayote. 
It is quite a beautiful place! I would come here again. 

That's all the pictures I have for my adventures in Bali!
