Camera and phone were stolen a couple days ago while surfing Dreamland... Not so dreamy and lost all my pics for the trip but hopefully I can get all the shots from friends I have traveled with along the way...
The past couple days were spent in Nusa Lembongan and now I am in Gilli Trawangan. Both locales are tiny islands off the coast of Bali and Lombok, respectively, but amazingly beautiful in their own right.
Last night in Nusa we happened upon a festival to ward off eveil black spirits that only occurs once every five or so years and is the holiest of all Hindu celebrations. We were walking down an alley looking for a shop to buy a few Bintangs as the whole island closed at about 10PM and literally stumbled upon a dark alley with all the island residents dressed in their ceremony sarongs and sat and watched this event - which cculminated in a possesed holy man being carriend through the alley to the local cemetary followed by some crazy dragons like people wearing a holy mask that was over 1,000 years old...
In Gilli now and about to grab dinner - power is out intermitantly so I must go and will update other adventures tomorrow...

Nick, sorry to hear about your things being stolen. We were (are)looking forward to seeing your pictures when you get home.
ReplyDeleteIt sound like you've had a really great time. An adventure. The way that you describe the guy and girl you hooked up with reminds me of a movie. Hope you are still having a good time. Be safe.
