Ferry to Sanur from Nusa Lembongan522 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.

Sunset from Bungalow Number 7, Jungut Batu, Nusa Lembongan473 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 Run473 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.
