Today's Place to Dream about: Lake Tamblingan, Bali

Today my thoughts wander to Indonesia, to an old volcano on Bali that contains three caldera lakes: Lake Tamblingan, Lake Buyan and Lake Bratan. Lake Tamblingan is the smallest but it seems to be the one most visited by tourists. The elevation is just over 1000 meters, or 3300 feet, so it is pleasantly cool.

Lots of amazing photos.

But the real draw of the place is the temples, the oldest of which dates to around 900 AD.

All are still active, except when they are flooded, which happens when the water in the lake is high.

Details.

We have the first signs of spring here, the first green leaves and the first robins, but it is stillmostly winter and Lake Tamblingan seems like it would be a great place to be.
