Lovina, Indonesia



From Solo we had an 15 hour overnight bus journey to take us to Denpasar, Bali. We didn't stop in Denpasar, choosing to head to Lovina on the north coast 4 hours away. We were thankful that nearly 24 hours after we left Solo we were having lunch on the beach. Lovina is an accumulation of sea side villages stretching 4km along the road. The beach isn't great as it's not the cleanest (maybe we have been spoilt in Thailand and Malaysia) but Lesley and Ben ventured in for a swim. We have rooms that open up on a very nice garden so that is where I've been the past few days reading my book. It's been nice to relax out of a city for a while. Lesley, Ben and Roberta got up at the crack of dawn to go on a boat trip to see dolphins and go snorkeling for the morning. I wasn't too fussed, I need to save some thing to do elsewhere! They had a great time though.

Next we are headed to the centre of the island to Ubud for a bit of countryside. I'm sure there will be a bit of walking, cycling and temples in the next few days.
