Padang Bai is a pretty nice place to stop and I stayed here one night. There is a rough rocky road behind the hostel that goes to a beautiful sandy beach with lots of surf. I almost had to swim back to town as a large wave tried to take my sandal out to sea.

| Motorcycle is the transportation of choice for those without cars...not much people ride the bus around here |

| Loading up the bottom deck |
 |
| You have to climb a metal ladder to get to the next level.....stairs are on the other side of the ferry |

| Leaving Lombock |
 |
| Vendors come on board to sell yummy chicken and rice lunches |
 |
| Nengah Sujati...the Butterfly Man |
 |
| Taken from a newspaper......As with the butterfly, initially probably never have guessed that the beautiful animal it came from was the caterpillar. And so Nengah Sujati likens himself.
"As the classic phrase in the English language, do not judge a book by its cover. Do not judge someone from the outside," says Sujati.

| Very friendly fellow....the beauty of the slow ferry is the passengers |
 |
| If you arrive late you sit outside....inside are luxury chairs and air conditioning. I was happy to just have a seat as I was last on the ferry |

| This #%^@er was outside my window at 6am calling to the hens |
 |
| I'd be better off if they didn't include breakfast at every hostel and hotel....and Indonesian butter is to die for. Diet coming soon in Singapore (as if that is possible ;) |
