Lovina

After leaving Ubud on Friday morning I drove north direction Lovin. On the way I made one detour to visit a place that was very scenic indeed. There were a lot of rice terraces of course, and there I also made a small break with hot tea and fried bananas.

On the way I also stopped by a famous temple, it was really crowded there so I didn't really spend much time there. Anyway it was nice to see the temple that is depicted on the 50.000 rupia bill.

On my way down to Lovina from the mountains I didn't make any more stops, the scenery was beautiful as always. Around 2pm in the afternoon I arrived in Lovina, which wasn't as touristy as I had expected. I found a nice hotel, and arranged for diving at Menjengan Island for the next day. Diving on Saturday in Menjengan was good, but not as good as I had hoped, in Amed the week before diving was much better. While diving I made some friends, and in the evening we went to the local club called Volcano Club. Clubbing was interesting, and there were mostly locals in the club.
