LOMBOK
Actually, I did not see much on Lombok - I based myself in the coast town of Ampenan which together with Mataram, Sweta and Cakranegara is sometimes considered as one city. Apart from resting I visited some temples in the town and its vicinity as well as traditional Sasak Sage village and beach in Kuta. Unfortunately I did not have enough time to climb famous Gunung Rinjiani - volcano and the highest mountain in entire Nusa Tenegara region.Even so, the views are stunning, and are a wonderful juxtaposition against sights like the ocean from the window of a
blackpool hotel in England, or the Taj Mahal at dawn. Nature is at its best, its most honest here, and I want to share it with you.
