Late afternoon light slants across the limestone cliff, and the Indian Ocean pushes its foam against a vertical face as you arrive at Pura Luhur Uluwatu. The temple perches roughly 70 metres above the surf; gulls wheel and the wind seems intent on dragging your hat out to sea. You step into a compact complex of carved gateways and carved stone, where monkeys patrol the path like uninvited guides.
