The driver eases away from the hotel as sunlight fattens over rice terraces; the road unfurls along Bali’s western flank toward the rock-bound silhouette of Tanah Lot. At the car park, the ocean’s breath smells of salt and surf—waves pulling at the base of the temple like a curious audience—and the first half of the day is a study in edges: black volcanic rock, white foam, and the centuries-old shrine that has watched tides carve a coastline into a stage.
