11– 14 March 2010 Lovina is an area in the north ofBaliconsisting of several villages along the main road. It has a narrow black sand beach. The main attraction here is early morning dolphin watching boat trips followed by snorkelling. I was here in the run up to Nyepi– the Hindu New Year and there were various ceremonies going on including one on the beach that I attended at the invitation of the homestay proprietor. I used the homestay as a base to go walking and exploring further afield by local bus. I did struggle to get anything approaching local prices anywhere in Lovina or on the buses. Even when passengers did the same journey as I did and the conductor knew I had seen what they paid they tried to charge me more.
