Under da sea..

We have been enjoying Gili Meno wholeheartedly.. it's like having our own private beach! We are staying in great little beachside cabanas at Amber House, enjoying local food and gorgeous sunsets at night, and diving with the wonderful crew at Blue Marlin daily. Sharks, baby sharks, eels, reys, puffer fish, sea lion face fish, pygmy sea horses, turtles, and many many more awesome sea dwellers are now our close personal friends. I can't help but hum little mermaid tunes as we float amongst the magical coral. The full moon was unreal here, lighting up the crystal clear ocean, making it possible for an unforgettable midnight swim. This is just amazing!

Last night we sat at a little cafe on the beach, enjoying a sudden dounpour and huge flashes of lightening as Oli dug into (and consequently choked on) a huge ass barricuda and I enjoyed some tasty chicken satay. This is the life. Thank goodness we have flights booked outta Indonesia or we might stay here for life and become professional divers/beach bums.

Alas, we must leave tomorrow, as we have 1 week to get our lazy butts to Jakarta to fly to Malaysia, and Jakarta is not close by any means! We have a few more dives to do off the coast of Bali along the way from a little town of Lovina, and we are gonna see some terraced rice paddies in Ubud. We opted for the pricier fast boat to get outta here, as no one would ever repeat the hellish public transportation journey that it took to get here.

What the heck am I doing on the net? I've got more fish to see!
