On the days it was not "flyable" Kingsley and I did some day trips to explore a bit more of the island. One of these trips was to the Uluwatu temple which was built in the 11th Century. It majestically sits 70 meters up on limestone cliffs overlooking the Indian ocean. I have been told its one of the best spots to go to watch the sunset.

The temple is inhabited by a very large group of monkeys who are extremely adept at snatching your belongings including: bags, glasses, shoes and earrings. If successful at grabbing something they can usually be bribed to return the item in exchange for fruit however, the exchange rate is completely at the monkeys discretion. So in short, they pretty much run the show. For $10 you can hire a monkey guard who walks next to you with a sling shot, but I had Kingsley to protect me so we were fine. The monkeys tested him once but upon learning he meant business, the monkey word went out and we were left alone the rest of the time.
