We had a slow start to the morning sorting out some admin stuff online etc and then decided to go for a nice long walk. We walked to the northern most tip of town and then headed to the beach before doing the coastal path back south. It started raining when we got halfway down the coast but it was actually quite refreshing walking in the rain.
We tried to find the local ferry port to enquire about tickets over to Nusa Lembongan Island for tomorrow. The first guy we spoke to tried to sell us a speed boat trip for 2 million rupees for both of us (about £150 for a 30 min boat ride). We just laughed and walked away. The next 2 guys had tickets for 250,000 rupee each and when we walked away ran after us and offered it to us for 175,000 rupee each. We eventually got to the office and you can get a ticket on the local ferry for 80,000 each (about £6 each). it is crazy how much you have to barter over here and you never ever accept the first price for anything!
We walked for 3 hours and then just enjoyed the rest of the afternoon swimming and relaxing at the hotel. The pool is so tranquil, I love it. Later we took another walk down the main street and went to this cute little local restaurant for some Nasi Goren (fried rice with veggies, chicken and soya sauce – delicious!!)
