Jungut Batu on Nusa Lembongan648 viewsOn Wednesday 22nd October, we made our way to Sanur, where we stayed at Agung and Sue's Watering Hole, a low-price backpacker-style hotel with an excellent budget restaurant.

Ferry to Sanur from Nusa Lembongan524 viewsThe journey out to Nusa Lembongan made us both feel seasick, but the jouney back, although much rougher, didn't have the same effect. It could be that we had a better place on the boat.

The Funan IT Mall, Singapore480 viewsOn the last day of our honeymoon (30th October) we did loads of shopping in Singapore. Nigel went off to the Funan Mall, an amazing shopping mall with 6 floors of shops, mostly computer-related. A dangerous place for anyone with a weakness for gadgets!

Sunset from Bungalow Number 7, Jungut Batu, Nusa Lembongan475 viewsWe stayed on Nusa Lembongan for only one night. We both hope to go back there for longer. We stayed at Bungalow Number 7 (which is actually a collection of bungalows). The facilities are basic, but you get a (cold) shower, a fan and a bed. The island only has electricity between 3pm and 8am, so the fan doesn't work outside those hours.
|
|
Boogie Run475 viewsThe Boogie Run (wider track) is a side by side slide, where you go down the slide head-first lying face down on a mat. Vic and I went on this together and agreed it was pretty good, and not as extreme as the others shown on here.

|
Other temples near Tanah Lot474 viewsThere are many other buildings and temples built on the shore near Tanah Lot, with quite a few shops and postcard sellers catering for tourists.
