Another 7:30am start (starting to become a habit unfortunately.) we had a quick breakfast before meeting our guide Tony for our snorkelling trip. After the first 30 mins of choppy waves we arrived at a cove to spot some Manta Rays! We were in luck and ended up spotting about 4/5 the biggest being about 3 metres in size! Although rather nervous when we started it was amazing as soon as we got in and swam with them. We then headed to a further two spots that were brilliant. The trip really reminded Rosie and I of our snorkelling trip the previous summer. After a relaxing afternoon by the pool we headed for dinner at a local outside cinema. The film was an old west one and although at times tricky to follow it was actually quite good! The perfect end to a lovely couple of days on the Island of Nusa Lembongan!

Hopefully the beer won't run dry tonight #GillyT #Indonesia #Bintang

These two have been monkeying around all day! I'm not impressed! 🙊🙈🙉 #Bali #Ubud #Monkeywoods

Having arrived in yogyarkarta it is clear to see the city structure that existed in Bundung is extremely similar. Both city's house to an extent a lot of poverty but it is also clear to see the effect that the tourism and tours have on some people's day today jobs. After a longs day travelling we decided to have an early night. We awoke the next morning ready for 4am ready to go and see the sun rise at the local temples. Although very touristy the temple buildings were vast and very impressive as a whole. Although we had noticed it in small parts previously, it had appeared as though myself and the girls had become celebrity's over night. As there were a lot of schools there on the same morning with most of the children never having seen let alone met a western person. We walked the grounds but were bombarded to an extreme with people wanting photographs with us (especially the girls). To us it just seemed bizzare but we played along with it and were extremely lucky to make it out in one piece. Having visited mount Bromo this morning in awful visibility unfortunately we now head for Bali. This is another 11 hour bus/ferry which is one of the joys of travelling. As I write this we are sitting waiting for the bus which is over 30 mins late. Not uncommon at all but you could argue you get the same delays in the UK at times.
