Gonna back up a bit here and go back to lembongan. So the day after Nyepi we all went diving and Shelley did her last 2 certification dives with us on the same boat, look out world we got another diver, YEAH!!! We did a couple cool things on our last day diving there..we did the Manta dive site again and there were Manta rays everywhere, so damn cool,, we were able to see them up close and I was able to get some good video of it as well. The night before we went to a lecture given by Andrea Mitchell a foremost authority on manta rays talking mostly about her foundation ( marine megafauna) and the listing of mantas on the CITES appendix ii listing that very day.. a very great thing to preserve the mantas as well as hammerheads and other sharks. People need to stop killing beautiful creatures because they think their fins will make their penis bigger... sorry your penis will always be small, get used to it.
It of course starting raining before we left so that none of our dive gear would dry out... love the rain in the tropics.
So the plan was no plan. I couldn't book flights on line because they don't like american credit cards, so sat morning we took a boat back to the mainland and a cab to the airport in Denpasar and went to the ticket counter for Lion air and HOPED!! that there were still tickets available for the flight to Manado...we lucked out , I don't know how close it was, but the flight was full. So we booked an ongoing flght as well while we were there and I booked a hotel room for the night in Manado, for 4 because they won't let me book for 5 people and then just showed up and went oops sorry we got 1 more....they didn't know what to do so they said OK fine good. Cool , like it when things work out.
OK so this not the funniest post I've ever written...that's all I have to say.
Love and warm thoughts from Bunaken Island
