We arranged for a taxi driver to take us to Denpasar to see a temple, a museum, a monument and a market -- because, well, that's what tourists do.
Monumen Perjuangan Rakyat Bali
It is also called Bajra Sandhi because its shape resembles a bell bajra which is used by Hindu priests during religious ceremonies. It is a monument to the struggle of the people of Bali and preserves the Balinese culture for future generations. It has 17 stairs at the main door, 8 grand pillars inside the building and it rises 45 meters. We enjoyed viewing the dioramas showing the history, wars, struggles and independence of the Balinese people. It is located in front of the Office of the Governor of the Province of Bali. It was built in 1987 although it looks centuries old. It occupies a vast area with soccer fields surrounding.
Good thing there was a sign so that we can look
it up on Wikipedia later.
We watched a bride and groom as a photographer snapped formal wedding pictures. The bride was covered in white (polyester) from head to toe and it was about 95 degrees.
