Lovina Beach

Last time i was on Bali, i didn't have the time to visit Lovina Beach. And it seems I did not miss much, there wasn't much happening (almost dead at night, although they were atleast trying by having bars and even live music, unlike Ubud!) and not alot to see there. I went for snorkelling and to the nearby hot springs one day. Snorkelling was okay, lots of fish, but the coral was almost completely dead - someone should tell the tourists not to touch them or step on them more often i guess! I got to try the underwater thing i got for my camera for the first time, and it actually works: I did shoot some pretty nice pictures, and no water got inside!


The hot springs were nice though, sulphuric water from the volcano is weird to swim in. I skipped on the Dolphin watching, since I've had this by coincidence in Padangbai when i went shark fishing already.
There aren't many tourists on Bali right now, even though it's high season, and even less seem to find their way to Lovina. So the hawkers on the beach are pretty desperate, and they won't even leave you alone when you're reading a book (which is usually the case). But they're only trying to make a living, so i did buy some of their handmade merchandise, which was pretty nice - small stuff i can carry, cause my backpack is completely stuffed already, mostly with Terry Pratchett books! ;-)
