Don't worry for not be able to find out the temple.. it's very easy to spotted. as long as you walk in the right road, (the road heading to penuin),. you will see temple's gate & wall along the road for 100m.. and the location was already marked in your map

If i not wrong,reading from this thread,taking a bus cost 3k,right?
There's no such bus guide for those mini van transport.. need to ask the driver if the bus head to the place that you're going. but it;s also not a good idea because most of driver would say yes, they're heading to that place even the bus didnt go exactly that place,,, and they will drop you at the closest point to your place on their rout.. sometimes it's not even close..

beside that, it's not really good idea to take those minivan bus.. it;s not safe, it's not comfortable.. there are many pickpocket with all kind of distraction trick, and no aircon in the van and the driver will keep filling their bus even it's already packed like sardin.. imagine the smell and the heat inside the van.. ha ha..
