Bali, continued
This is a top pick! ... as soon as we woke up. I think he was trying to sell us his kidney as we jumped into a bemo for our current spot: Padangbai. The hawkers are less insistent here, maybe because there are many more tourists than in Lovina. Don't need to analyze why, I ...

Completing My Open Water Course
This is a top pick! Ready at 8:00AM, Mark picked me up for the drive to Padang Bai. We arrived within an hour and a half, suited up and went for our first dive. The area where we dove is called Blue Lagoon and although pretty it was more about me managing my buoyancy than ...

Back in Bali
It was nice to be back on this island. I found the Balinese much nicer people to deal with. The people on Lombok seemed forever trying to get as much money out of you as they could. The Balinese were not so bad. On arrival at the ferry terminal I was to ...
Propositioned on Penida
... ; Fortunately I had a sarong with me in my pack, so wrapped that around me (a sarong is mandatory to go into temples in Indonesia). I thought I would be able to sneak in and watch from the back – but no! The gamelan stopped playing, and ...
Indonesia – Bali
We arrived in Bali at midnight and we stayed our first 3 nights not far from the airport in Legian on the west coast. It was a bit too touristy for us and we were really disappointed in the beach. It was cleaned every morning but by each afternoon the ...

Ferry to Lombok, and bedbugs
The next large island eastwards is Lombok and the ferry left at 1 pm. The one after that was at 3 pm. Lombok is only 23 kms from Bali but it takes the ferry over 4 hours to get there. Unfortunately the bus was late in leaving Ubud because the driver ...
Prayers and Cocks

Sehr gemuetlich

I am back
... nbsp;Thank Allah that the locals are the sort of people I want to hang with. Marijuana carries the death penalty in Indonesia but magic mushrooms are legal and marketed like MacDonalds. It's like the crazy situation in New Zealand where everyone takes LSD ...
Chilled out beach area
After Tulamben we spent about a day checking out Padangbai, which other travelers had recommended to us (and yes...it was apparently featured in Eat Pray Love). On the way there the driver (we chartered a cheap car) told us about the cock-fighting that ...
Padangbai + Moped Touring
... , bus had broken down, not possible to go today! Not all bad as we got our 'Rupiah' back and got a taxi to Padangbai, a small settlement towards the east coast. Far nicer, cheaper, and cleaner than Kuta. We arrived mid-morning, checked into a guesthouse ...

Dates For Your Diary
We leave Padang Bai tomorrow morning and we've had a lovely couple of days here. It's been a great place to finish our whirlwind tour of Bali and probably our favourite spot on the island. We spent yesterday and today snorkelling on Blue Lagoon Beach. ...
She sells sea shells.....
Having finally had enough of lying around on beaches, we decided to explore the island on a moped. Our concerns that Justin didn't have his license with him were quickly alleviated following the conversation with the rental guy that went like ...
