2/26 After Padang Bai and Sanur I'm Longing for Nusa Lembongan (Bali/Indonesia)

Clement and I made our way back to Bali (Padang Bai) from Lombok (Lembar) via ferry. It took 5 hours and cost 36,000 rupiah ($3.60) per person

 

   Time to water the plants onboard :)

Our room in Padang Bai

Dirty feets

Good morning offering

 

Breakfast!

A disastrous attempt to go from Padang Bai to Nusa Lembongan via local boat. Our captain got lost, and the storm nearly capsized our boat. Our lives and luggage were endangered, but Clement saved the day and the family. Thank you so much...

His reward

Just jammin'

Spot the sunken boat. It could've been us :(

Big ceremony! 

Clement and I decided to take a shuttle to Sanur, continue onto Nusa Lembongan by boat the next day. It was the longer, but safer option!!

  

Last minute repairs on the boat... hm :O

YES you can still go to the beach on a rainy day!! 

Nusa Lembongan! Where the Balinese (and boatloads of Chinese) go to vacation.

A bike ride on the island

 Well hello there

Hmm... if I didn't already have 2, I'd consider it!

On the pontoon

I didn't do it

Supporting them with new school supplies :)

Remnants of an old boat

 

Dream Beach

Two infinity pools at the beach...

Lembongan Village

Beach clean up!

Fresh laundry!!!

Start of the mangroves

Mangroves

Seaweed Farming

Intense and tedious manual labor for a measly 4,000 rupiah ($.04) per kilo

Look look look!

Hati Hati, Clem...

 Going into an underground house

Wah!!

 Well, if I'm gonna get wet...

The weather turned terrible during our last few days in Nusa Lembongan - blackouts every night and terrible sea conditions!! So unfortunately I wasn't able to do any diving this time around, but I'm so proud of baby Clement, who is now certified as an Open Water Diver for life!! Woo hoo!
