a thing in 40 photos in 2009 ocean showing 2009 only · show all years He even gave us wooden switches to intimidate the monkeys with! Backlit temple. Right when we got up to the temple, the sun was just getting ready to set over Java in the west. Giant chess board on the beach! If you looked down the coast to the right, you could see Pura Pulaki. A big, coastal Hindu temple that's overrun with monkeys! Black sand. The beach had trees growing feet from the water! It's wonderful to sit on the beach in the shade of trees! On Monday our stay at Amertha was over and we packed up to head just a hundred yards down the road to the Mati Hari. The view from the bed was probably one of the most picturesque views I've ever seen in my life. Headed back to Pemuteran. The island we were moored off had pura that were visible from the boat. Riding to the second dive location. Check the two volcanos in the background! We anchored near a reef off of another island. See you in 40 minutes! Awesome. We left a little before 10am. It was about a thirty-minute boat ride out to the first dive spot. The scenery was amazing. I love how the water turns from deep blue to turquoise. Pirately ship! Mer doesn't like scuba diving (she has trouble equalizing the pressure in her ears) but she was excited to snorkel around the reef while we were diving. Rad. All the boats were beautiful wooden boats. ...taken from the black sand beach a couple hundred feet away. Later that night we went into Puta for dinner. Afterwards, we went for a nice night walk on the beach. Balcony view. Later in the afternoon, I decided to really mix things up with a change of scenery and moved my feed up to the lounge chairs by the pool. Neato. People coming down the beach on horseback. ...and took turns reading up on Bali guidebook and figuring out where we wanted to travel to next! After breakfast, we relaxed in lounge chairs on the beach... Went for a nice long walk down the beach... Me, peeking over the edge of the edgeless pool. (Kilroy was here .) The next morning we woke up before 5am and went downstairs to swim in the hotel's gorgeous edgeless pool that's right down near the beach. (Meredith's in the pool, but you can see the ocean right behind her). The view from our balcony after sunset. The view from our balcony. Wow. View of the ocean from the subway platform. Late night paddle boat excursion. Full moon over the bay. Thanks for having us all over, Justin's Parents! Haha. Captain Geordon's hair is unstoppable. Capt. Geordon readies his ship for sea. Paddle boat!
