Almost all the
visitors to the Holy Spring temple (otherwise known as Pura Tirta Empul) would
make a beeline for the entrance but i did notice a nearby pavilion ignored by
many!
It was a
beautiful elevated Balinese structure surrounded by a water moat and appeared to
have stood time for a few decades, without the accumulated
dust.
Floor was tiled
and i almost thought of removing my shoes as the surface was devoid of any dust,
twigs and litter! Didn't at the end as i also noticed the foot prints all over
the place.
Moat surrounding
the pavilion - despite the seemingly calm water, there were a lot of fishes and
their size said a lot on how well-fed they were.
Their size didn't
go unnoticed and local kids were trying their luck in fishing a few out of the
water! This reminded me of my childhood in the village when we would go fishing
in muddy water and catch spiders in forested area. Whether the fish is edible or
not wasn't important; it's the joy of catching it.
Parents with
hyperactive and spoilt kids should take note that the pavilion isn't
child-friendly; aside from the smooth tiles that made the floor slippery, the
iron barrier had rods that stuck out.
In addition, some
rods were missing and i can imagine kids tripping over the lower barrier and
falling into the water! Your kids are your responsibility; so do an eye on them
every single moment.
Given the rare
opportunity of no potential photo-bombs, i suggested to Alex to pose for me.
Pity Jovyn wasn't with me as she would have done it way more exaggerated
ways.
