Padang bai and the blue lagoon

Defo worth a visit. Padang bai is the little harbour town that you catch the slow boat to Lombok from. Its little harbour is full of boats and some funky little cafes line the small beach. But the jewels are the little cove called the blue lagoon on the left, and to the right of the harbour, white sands beach. I owe dan shiedow a months free accommodation in the uk for telling me about this spot. They both have a really cheap little warung for excellent food and the nicest little beaches I have seen. The snorkelling is amazing. Just of the beach you find coral and thousands of brightly coloured fish, some small some huge. I came face to face with a moray eel, and swam with turtles. Amazing. Met some awesome people too. I was talking about you stracky to a very old Flemish Belgian called John. The first thing he asked was were you French or Flemish. Then he pulled a face when I told him! I even met a genuine Sioux Indian from San Fransisco and a German Gandhi!

I don't know where this month has gone. When I got here I was thinking well, its OK, but maybe a month was too long. Second week I thought its nice, but I wouldn't want to live here. Third week, I could stay. The little hotel, Kumbar Inn, seems to just hold on to nice people. No one wants to leave and its just a complete family feel, drinking round one big table and ending up doing everything together. Very sad to leave all the people. Highlight of the trip and everything I assumed Bali was before I got here.
