Nusa Lembongan

Omg it's more of the same but better on this pretty island resort. We have 2 honeymoon suites, 1 sunset room and a bungalow with hammock between the 8 of us. The tiny bright-blue-tiled pool is surrounded by palms, orchids, hibiscus and frangipani. It and the cafe look over a beautiful white sandy bay full of traditional boats. Our 3 night package includes breakfast, afternoon tea with cake (banana pancakes/fritters actually but who's quibbling), fruit bowl, an island tour, one dinner, a snorkelling trip and a massage. Wow.
As well as the blind man (amazing how he notices the bikini babes) and the much improved cripple, we now have a big wave dumpee who is a bit stiff after chest-diving into the beach. We have several mishaps getting on and off the wildly rocking boats - the (luckily stopped) propeller grabs a bit of leg, the sandy beach tries to suck a couple of bodies in, the pocketknife slips when trying to free a tied up life jacket (zips? buckles? don't be stupid!), and there are plenty of sprawls on the water's edge. The tour directors get cross and swear and shout and we all laugh so much we pee our pants!! The fish we see while snorkelling are amazing, especially for the brave one who's never dared enter the deep before. The bucket lists are getting a few ticks....
Unfortunately this the last place we are all together and almost the end of the hol for most :-(.
We've had a ball.
