I spent the morning relaxing at Blue Corner and was finally able to move into their dorm room (although I had very much enjoyed my private room!). After lunch I decided to go and explore the island; I just cannot believe my time in Indonesia - and in fact Asia - has come to an end. I walked the whole way down the coast along the beach until there was no longer a path, and then moved more inland to follow the mountain roads. I walked to Panorama Point where the v...

I had a seriously great lie in for the first time in a lonnnng time. There was a full island power outage in any case so bed sounded way more appealing. I walked down to Blue Corner Dive school and set up there for the day on a bean bag facing the beautiful beach and enjoying the sunshine and infinity pool. I met some really nice people at blue corner and spent the entire day and evening chatting to them. One guy named Ricki was from Leeds so we had a great conv...

It was another early start this morning as I signed up for two dives with Holly. It was a little different to the experience I'd had in Flores as the boat was a tiny little speed boat and there was just a few of us with all Indonesian guides and a lovely Canadian DMT named Ally. The boat literally flew over the waves to our first dive site, Manta Point, and once we got all our equipment on we flipped backwards off the boat and descended down. The current was ext...

More than happy to leave Kuta I got a bus and speed boat to Nusa Lembongan, and having met a lovely girl named Robin on the bus it was a very pleasant journey. The speed boat really was a speed boat and absolutely flew through the water (like the beast ride in New York!). I ended up getting an Ojek (motorcycle taxi) to a dive centre witttttth my huge backpack still on my back which was interesting to say the least. After some lunch I eventually found somewhere ...

I was so so sad to leave Flores and woke up at 6.30 am to say goodbye to everyone before they went off for the day on the dive boat. I'd got on so well with Lyris and I'm sure we will keep in touch, plus I already have most the dive instructors on Facebook! More and more I want to spend the rest of my life with a career in diving; I just think I'd be happy every second of every day and it would definitely beat sitting in an office 9-5. It was hilarious that as ...
