At the beach, which is covered in polished green rocks - the towns main export














Dominoes is a very popular game in Indonesia - if you lose you have to clasp a clothesline pin to your ear - the guy in the black t-shirt was the most decorated.














Chowing down on some local Indonesian food the traditional way, with your hands. Most small Indonesian restaurants or warungs (Indonesian name) cook a load of food in the morning and then display it in their windows all day. The sun keeps the food warm and creates a lovely environment for bacteria.



















Getting my mitts dirty. I use to be a very picky eater - now I seem to throw about anything into my jaws - strangely I've yet to get sick. Please cross your fingers for me.



















Such a scenic drive



















This area reminded me of a very lush Riggins - the white water was quite impressive looking.














A natural shower - water pressure is not an issue.
