Jimbaran, Bali, Indonesia

Our last stop in Bali was in Jimbaran which is on the southwest coast of Bali, just below the airport.

Jimbaran Map

Jimbaran is famous for its seafood. The beach is lined with seafood restaurants and fishing boats.

The fish market is at the north end of the beach. It is very busy and smelly.

Arriving at the fish market

They sell fish inside and on the beach

Durian is a fruit that smells so bad it is banned from some hotels.

Dining on the beach

This man is collecting small shellfish. See the video below for a closer look.

Gili Meno, Lombok, Indonesia

From Gili Air the Stanleys and I took a boat to Gili Meno, the smallest and quietest of the three islands.

Arriving at Gili Meno

Still no motorbikes or cars here

There are lots of places to eat on the beach.

Visiting the Turtle Sanctuary

The Stanleys helped me donate some money to the turtle sanctuary

Snorkeling Gili Meno

I didn't take the Stanleys with me but I saw some turtles and lots of colourful fish.

These are the boats used to transport people between islands.

Every morning the streets are swept. The beach gets raked to clean it up after the high tide leaves rubbish behind.

Local ladies are collecting food for dinner while their children play in the sea.

Gili Meno Bird Sanctuary

I could hear lots of birds singing but I didn't see many. I did see LOTS of BIG spiders though.

Watch the video to see the lake, some birds, spiders and some little fish. Listen carefully for the birds. They are there somewhere.

There are lots of cats in the Gilis and none of them have long tails like our ones in New Zealand.

Goodbye Gili Islands!

Sanur (Sah-noor) Bali

Watching the locals and tourists having a swim at Sanur Beach

Spending some time on Sanur beach

Sanur is a beach town on the east coast of Bali. People like to visit here because there is an offshore reef that makes the water by the beach nice and calm.

This man is cooking Nikki a chicken noodle soup for 10,000 IDR (Indonesian Rupiah). Do you know how much that is in New Zealand Dollars?

There are more motorbikes than cars in Bali.

Petrol for motorbikes is sold on the side of the road in plastic or glass bottles.
