Het Land der Duizend Tempels (The Land of the Thousand Temples) A Guidebook and Souvenir of BALI.
And so we have reached the fifth day of the 6-day programme. In the morning from Denpasar to Bangli where the Kehen temple is visited. On to Penelokan—great view of the Batur active volcano and Batur lake—and Kintamani. Lunch and overnight stay in the KPM guesthouse at Kintamani. This guesthouse had 6 rooms which cost 10 guilders per night. A government guesthouse with 8 rooms at 7 guilders per night was also available in Kintamani.
If so desired the Batur lake could be visited in the afternoon.

The sixth and last day of the programme one has to leave Kintamani early as the KPM steamer back to Java leaves around midday.

The trip goes to Kubutambahan and the Madruwe Karang temple there, and Tejakula. After crossing a great many, mostly dry rivers, there suddenly is an abundance of water in Tejakula.
The main attractions in Tejakula are the pools—separated by gender—and a separate one for horses.
An interesting snippet of information: the guesthouse is no longer operational, at least not in the hospitality sector, but now (1930) functions as a sales outlet for opium.
To be continued…
