Wake up. Breakfast. Plan the day. Let's go.
The first gas station we drive to has no fuel left. So we have no choice but to find one on the way to the first destination. After the fuel problem is solved, we drive along the coastline and later up the serpentine roads, which offers us an incredible view.
Before we know it, we are already (accidentally, we actually just wanted to get a coffee) in front of the entrance to our first stop - a cave that serves as a Buddhist shrine. We pay a fee of 66 cents to dress ourselves in accordance with the beliefs and receive a water blessing from a monk (Buddhist priest) after climbing a few steps up the mountain.
You "slide" through a one-meter diameter hole into a kind of entrance vault, where the ceiling is only about 1.50 meters high. After a few meters, you enter a real hall. The cave is like a kind of stone church ship that has eaten its way through the mountain for hundreds of meters. We stroll through the tunnel and arrive at a temple at the end, where prayer ceremonies are taking place.
We leave the cave through the back exit and walk a short distance until we reach a warung, where we have a small lunch snack.
We continue until we reach our second destination, a cliff formation. We park our scooter, pay the obligatory euro as a 'donation', and start hiking. It is much less crowded than yesterday at the other viewpoint and the view is also much better - a complete win.
By the way, none of the cliffs and slopes are secured or fenced off in any way. If you want, you can go directly to the rocky, slippery edge and look down 30-50 meters.
After a good hour, our eyes have seen enough and we decide to make our way home. This time we rush down the serpentine roads; in front of us the sea, which is colored gold by the low-lying sun. We put on some music and enjoy the ride along the coast back home.
The rest of the evening goes according to the already known pattern: watching the sunset, getting food, and then falling into bed exhausted.
