RE: Getting Off the Sailing Boat In Lombok, Mentigi Bay - Beautiful Indonesia!
Ai Bali oh Bali!! It seems paradise on Earth (have you heard it before?) ;)

It's a very unique and special place on earth but I have to admit that every paradise also has a part of "hell" in it, meaning, I experienced good but also bad sides of living there. It used to be extremely wonderful. It changed a lot and not for the best. The government doesn't care to preserve this island. They have profits and money in mind.
Really want to hope that paradise will remain a paradise. I really like Bali. Especially Balinese, they are heavenly people.
Nice to see you here and thanks for your comment. I wrote a few articles about my Bali days and the unique tribe and their culture. Paradise is vanishing but we still can find beauty if we open our eyes. Lombok and Mentigi bay is still pure, for now.
I rememeber that awfull story about poisoning you told before, that's a pitty/shame!
Here in Portugal we might have a similar situation in Azores islands due to the interest in tourism developing without having the preservation of the island in attention. Now, low-cost companies are flying there...and I don't believe the type of public those attract can be good for the island sustainability.
Too many beautiful places are over developed . It's sad ! Portugal is still wonderful though.
You're using the correct word, still! But whenever I visit Lisbon...I see everything is being done for tourists and I'm afraid the traditional essence gets diluted. Let's see in a few years what will happen :)
It happens everywhere but maybe we learn sooner than later to preserve the beauty of our lands
