So after I left Lovina I made my way over to the next Island to the East - Nusa Lombogan. To get to this island you have to take a ferry. Normally for common folk this would not be a problem. But for those prone to sea sickness, the 2 1/2 might be alright if it were not for the massive swells and a storm that we hit halfway through the trip. Too bad I am prone to sea sickness. Getting into the ferry was unique as there is not really a marina or port. The boat was just anchored about 15 feet out in the sea. This is bali.. no need for those luxuries. So basically you had to carry your bag over your head out to sea with the water up to your waist to get on the boat. You just have to pray that you can make it to the boat before the next wave comes that might knock you over. I could not have been happier once we made it to the island, though I probably did not look it. I somehow ended up at a really nice bungalow guest house. Tourism is quite low at the moment and I was able to enjoy secluded white sand bays all by my self. What do you do when you have a beach all to yourself? Well, i don't know what you would do - but I did cartwheels. Yeah... i know all you girls out there are jealous. When was the last time you did a cartwheel??I also got to enjoy some nice snorkeling and surfer watching and beautiful sunsets.
But the Island in the end got the best of me. I got burned, both by the sun and by a motorbike muffler. Well, that was then end of my beach enjoyment. The motorbike burn ain't lookin pretty, and probably being on sandy beaches would not be the best in terms of pain management. So I decided to head back to Ubud (not you bud), the town in the center of Bali. I am sitting here getting plenty of reading time in, as well as banana juice sippin time. In a few says I am headed to Hong Kong... the place for the shopping time!

Never a dull moment for you, right girl. Getting into a boat with in waist deep waters and balancing your luggage (backpack?) on your head, you are good! Did you rent a Harley Davidson on that isle and got your leg burned on its exhaust? That hurts! Got some witch cream or chewed coconut leaves for that wound? Or maybe your favorite bananas have some magic medical powers. Take care love!
Dang girl! Sounds like a nasty thing getting burned on the bike. Thats why I prefer roller blades wherever possible - which is usually Sparkles. How is the water over there though? Good reefs, warm H20? Peeing in your wetsuit is always a good way to kick up the temp. a few degrees! Enjoy your last few days there.
