Lovina!

This past week we rented a jeep and drove around the island. Let it be known that driving here is nothing like in the States. Not only did we have to get used to driving on the left side with the steering wheel on the right, but people here are absolutely nuts. We would have someone pass us as we were passing with a blind corner ahead with a bus already coming at us, total chaos but somehow traffic keeps flowing. We headed north with our new friends, Bas, from Holland, and Naoko from Japan, who were on their honeymoon, to Lovina Beach, pictured above, which was a sleepy beach community that we grew to love. The main attraction is the dolphins, so one morning we woke up early to take a boat out onto the bay and spot them. The best part was being on the calm water at sunrise, because while we saw a few dolphins, it was ruined by all the boats chasing them when someone spotted the pod. The next day we went to a waterfall and hotsprings close by, we had a few unwanted guides accompany us to the waterfall who showed us the good mud spot under the falls and scrubbed mud all over us, nicer than it sounds. The next night, we agreed , was one of the most memorable of our lives (picture and short description below).
