And onwards to Bali
This is a top pick! ... are so glad that we went there….we would 100% recommend it to everyone. Currently we are enjoying the relaxed little resort of Lovina on the northern coast of Bali. We are staying in a lovely little hotel with our own balcony and we have views over ...
the end of a life....
This is a top pick! June 12 Crack of dawn on a spider boat out to visit with the dolphins and then some snorkeling on the reef.......all sounds great except that last night was a night of hellacious hot....the hotel is great....even has a swimming pool and, with ...
Unplanned bonus time on Bali!
This is a top pick! ... , so we beat a hasty retreat by public bus, which dropped us an hour or so down the road in the coastal town of Lovina. Lovina proved to be a very convenient base, with plenty of dive operators running tours to Menjangan. It's quite a large seaside ...
Forgotten Paradise
This is a top pick! C... Hello, I am back into the land of the living after joining the Dengue Fever club. They call it break bone fever too, which is not very surprising. The past few weeks have been a bit of a blur, the Bali pace can be quite tough at first especially ...
A weeks worth of Lovina Beach sunsets
This is a top pick! This beach is so gorgeous. It's a small little town, with just a few shops and even fewer restaurants. And I thought Ubud was small. All eight "beach sellers" knew me by name after day 1. And I was only on the beach in the ...
I'm certified for Open Water SCUBA Diving!
This is a top pick! ... . I'm not sure exactly what I'll do after Tuesday. I've extended my visa for another month starting the 14th (I arrived in Indonesia on Feb 14th, I can't believe it!). I doubt I'll use the whole month here, but who knows? I think ...
Buddhist Monastery & Hot Springs
This is a top pick! Bali only has one Buddhist Monastery so I went to see it. It's located on the north shore a little bit up a volcano. I rented a motorbike for the day and rode up. (I am SO getting one when I settle back in SanFrancisco - I'm ...
A lot of new experiences...
This is a top pick! ... pool, only furtively making it on to the beach at the end of the day to watch the sun set over Java. The big tourist draw in Lovina is dolphin-watching. Boats leave every day at 6am to go beyond the reef where they seem to like to swim around. I didn't ...
Travel from Ubud to Lovina, with a few stops...
This is a top pick! Traveling from Ubud on the south side of the big volcano in Bali to Lovina Beach on the north side of the island means going up and over the biggest volcano on the island. On a road barely wide enough for two cars to pass each other, with no line ...
Far North
This is a top pick! Ubud to Lovina, one word of advice, if you book your ticket through Perama, book a ticket with a stopover i.e. a ticket to Lovina with a stopover in Ubud, saves you alot of money. We found out the hard way! Lovina was hot, so hot and black volcanic ...
Ubud to Lovina
This is a top pick! ... though it made me a little queasy, just so I didn't look out the window! (I was in the front seat) Finally we arrived in Lovina and the accommodation hunt would begin. You really can't spend less than 150,000 here which is £10 a night and this is a lot ...
Touristy Crap
This is a top pick! ... in a computer game trying to dodge and outwit the enemy. Before we turned back we saw some little chicks that looked sick & were told they had the bird flu. We still don't know if it's true, but in Indonesia we saw lots of sick chickens and their ...
Today I ave been mostly on.....the beach
This is a top pick! 18:43 Nothing to report today, I walked on the black beach, swam in the sea, lay under the shade of a tree reading and glancing out at the view- the boats all on shore with their bamboo stabilisers, the air above the beach shimmering from the scorching ...
Ubud and Lovina
This is a top pick! ... we say 'no thank you' is beyond us. It's something we were having to get used to for the rest of our time in Indonesia. Only another 6 weeks to go........great. If only we got a pound for every time we had the word "transport?" said to ...
Well after 10 days of basing myself in the ...
This is a top pick! ... , (and officially it's the wet season) there is the occasional rain storm that developes by late afternoon. Most travellers come to Lovina for 2 reasons...To see thee dolphins at sunrise in a canoe, or do do some scuba diving. On my second morning i was ...
Getting away from Kuta
... were now available for only E5 a night.. Definitely much better value than Kuta where I was staying in a pretty grotty place. Lovina was definitely a lot better than Kuta. You still got hassled to sell things but not as much and the people seemed ...
Gary's big adventure
While I have been relaxing this whole trip, Gary has two computers and continues to work. If you don't know, he manages money for clients and himself including day trading that requires him to work with the US stock market. The time works ...

Lovina
... very different to Java. Bali was filled with other white people and they had actual tarmac roads with road markings, wow! We arrived in Lovina on the north coast and it was beautiful. It was a sleepy little town with a few shops and bars and a long black ...
Live'n Lovina Loca
... it was quite delicious I might add. The day before yesterday we bought our tickets for 120,000idr per person from Lovina to Padang Bai, although when we went to dinner right after and saw it on the happy hour street for 110,000. Oh ...
Lovina...and all its glory...
... cup of coffee and far superior to the less than palatable Bali coffee! Staying in Anturan rather than Kalibukbuk (or central Lovina) as recommended for its quietness, we got what we asked for in a way. There was a complete lack of anything ...

Snorkelling and stomach issues
... Sartaya that was recommended by a couple we met in Ubud. The bungalows were really nice but we were quite a ways out of Lovina. It was about 20 minutes to walk into the town. We booked a snorkelling day with the guesthouse owners which included a ...
Best snorkelling in Bali
... by what is claimed the best coral reef in Bali. It has a massive drop off with a spectacular array of fish. From there we picked our stuff back at the hotel and drove to Lovina, a sweet coastal village and lodge in a very nice villa owned by a ...
