Nusa Lembongan is situated 12 miles south east of Bali. It is one hour traveling time by boat from Benoa Harbour. This pear shaped island is around 4km long and 2km wide. It is surrounded by a beautiful fringing reef, which hosts a myriad of marine life, The waters are renowned for their abundance of life and great surf breaks. The reef has been declared a marine park by the Indonesian authorities. Not only does the reef support its own Eco-system, but it supports most of the villagers on the island as well. The local people farm seaweed. This seaweed is cultivated, harvested then exported all over the world for use in cosmetics, food stabilizers and medicines. Other sources of income include traditional wooden boat building, farming peanuts, sweet potato, and fishing.Village life is very slow and enchanting. Very few cars and motorbikes are seen on the roads. The people are steeped in tradition, and one could imagine Bali being like this island, thirty years ago.Although the island is small there are many things to do. Fishing, diving, surfing, mangrove exploring, discovering natural fresh water springs, underground cave house exploring, cycling around the island. A visit to the bat caves on a nearby island, or a picnic at dream beach. Try catching mud cabs in the mangrove area at the back of the island. There is something for every one at Nusa Lembongan.

Bajunglincir-Palembang

The Banjunglincir-Palembang river trip: From Jambi, take the Rp400 bus halfway to Banjunglincir to Batas, then walk the rest of the way to Banjunglincir. You have to walk it from Batas because the road is impassable. Get a hold of a stanis stia (stainless steel ring) to keep the tigers away. From Banjunglincir, a 10 m long boat takes 30 hours down to Palembang, Rp1500-2000 with 3 meals a day (fresh crayfish). Go past a whorehouse on stilts, monkeys swinging in trees, giant hornbills flapping up from jungle bush like B-29 Bombers. Shine your torch at night into the swamps and you can see the red eyes of crocodiles. If you don't get the boat from Banjunglincir right away; may have to wait 3-4 days. There's no losmen in Banjunglincir, so stay in the warung closest to the river. Crayfish cost Rp500 a kilo. To get back to Jambi from Batas (last bus leaves for Jambi at noon), get up at 5 am, allowing 6 to 7 hours for the walk. Don't need a guide which costs Rp1500. Because of tigers and poisonous snakes, don't travel at night.
