DAY EIGHTEEN: Nan tien temple

DAY EIGHTEEN: Nan tien temple

After our day of rest we decided to keep activities to a minimum so we went to Nan tien temple. Nan tien temple is a Buddhist monastery just out of Wollongong. It is the largest Buddhist temple in the southern hemisphere although I'm not a religious person it was an incredible place to visit, there is an incredibly calm atmosphere, maybe some of that was down to the strong smell of incense they use during prayer. Either way the temple itself is fantastic unfortunately you were not allowed to take photo's inside the beautiful buildings but we took some from the outside.

Before we left we went to one of their café's where we indulged in loose leaf tea. I normally wouldn't go anywhere near tea but since we were there I thought I would give it a try. I ordered Mountain high tea, Vic ordered lemon grass and ginger.

Vicki has never been happier
