What to do after Nusa Lembongan? Like usually, I had no plan. In the last evening I decided that next day I'll go to Lombok. I woke up in the morning and went to Bali instead. Bali has never interested me much but I wanted to dive the ASAP Liberty wreck, so why not do it now. And it was for sure worth it! Amazing! I did 2 dives there, one in the afternoon and one in the morning. Same wreck, different light. In the afternoon it was like a ghost town, lots of weird light. In the morning the visibility/light wasn't as good but we found much more fishes. F.ex a huge grouper just waiting for food to swim in :)




After one night in Tulamben I had to make decisions again. Should I go to Lombok or Java? Well, I already wanted to see mt. Bromo last year but ended up in Sulawesi so why not go there now. I stayed one night in Lovina in Bali on the way and got again really annoyed about almost everything. The bemo driver tried to rip me off with the price, then basically pushed me to an ojek who took me to a hotel. I made no promises, took a look at the room and it was okay, wifi worked and price was cheap so why not, I'll stay one night. And of course the ojek dude was a dive master or whatever and tried to sell me basically anything. As I wasn't interested in diving, snorkeling, dolphin watching why not try if the woman just wants to get wasted and who knows what happens then... Yea think again... Argh.
Also walking at the beach wasn't really a relaxing experience. I really don't wanna be rude but at the end I just start ignoring everyone and don't bother to answer even to a hello. As it never is only a hello. And yes I know I have nice tattoos. I did though meet a nice older man in a bakso booth in the evening. He told me loads of ramadan and what kind of meaning it has to him. And he didn't try to sell me anything or tried to made me pay his bakso.
So, off to Java! The island where you never should ask how much something costs as then you out yourself as an unexperienced tourist and end up getting ripped off. Just hold small money in the pocket and ignore everyone who approaches you near bus stations, tourist attractions or hotels. Excited!
