Balangan Beach - Feeling Nature's Power

Uluwatu, Bali, a pretty interesting place. I am on a really cool beach called Balangan Beach. I am paying 8 dollars a night for a private room with a fan, shared bathroom, and directly on the beach. You can hear the waves crashing at night. In the morning you can wake up and look outside and see surfers shredding it up. Waking up and walking directly on the beach is very nice and relaxing. Uluwatu is fairly removed from the spiritual hub of Ubud. You can see some temples and offerings of incense on the fronts of businesses, but not nearly as immersive as in Ubud. I really liked the immersive balinese culture in Ubud. Uluwatu is a large area with many beaches and surf breaks. The road infrastructure is terrible. There are tons of villas under construction and investment opportunities. The main shopping area near Padang Padang beach has tons of viber cafes, wellness centers, and surf shops. The surf at Balangan Beach has been a step up. Today was my first day attempting to surf here. The waves are way more powerful than in Siargao. The volume of water is crazy. It makes you realize right in front of your eyes the awesomeness of hashem's creation.
