A weeks worth of Lovina Beach sunsets
Mar 17, 2008 (14 photos)

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 sand ...
