We arrived quite late in Lovina. Sun
sets here at 6pm. Spent quite some time looking for a hotel
and ended up with tis one. Me and Alex had to stay at another hotel
different from Ivan and Ooi tho the two are closely located to one
another. The hotel owner misled us in believing that both rooms
belonged to the same hotel. Had some problems during bfast the
following morning. ;P

Lovina was pretty
quite. Not a happening place. Breakfast at the hotel was pretty
lousy. They actually had to go to the grocery store to buy stuff and
make our pancakes and french toasts after we ordered them.

Headed in two
separate boats to go snorkling. Booked the boats at RP50,000/person

Ivan and Ooi were on
'FRIENDS FOREVER' while me and Alex were in 'MARCOPOLO'

LOVINA
Lovina is situated
north of the island. A very quite town nothing much
happening. Was doubting Alex's proposal to go there
since I dont see any point of going anywhere
secluded in Bali.
The hotel was pretty bad but I hav to say that the
seafood is fresher here.
Spent the night
before playing Chor Tai Tee at a restaurant where we
got to know a waitress call Made. Her husband was
the one that rented us the boat the next morning to
go snorkling.
He spotted some
school of dolphins and offered tobring us there for
another RP40,000 / person. We discussed and I
thought... well, since we are here.. why not.. I
dont mind....(i'm a dolphin lover actually).. dreamt
of swimming with them some day. :)

Clothes off
- hoping to get a tan and we started snorkling 1km away from
the beach
No pics tho, didnt get a chance to buy those disposable
underwater cameras.
Manage to see some live corals, blue star fish, and many sea
water fishes :)

There were around 40~50 dolphins swimming 10m away
from us. I could see three dolphins swimming below
and aside our boats at one time. Two made a spinning
dive out and into the water again and one made a
back flip. It was a sight I did not expect to see.
Gosh, somehow the trip to Lovina all seemed worth
it. :)

Heading back
to the beach. Assist the boat owners to push and parked their boats
on the shore lines.
