Tulamben
We'd wake at 6am every day, walk two blocks up the road to the dive shop to suit up, walk another three minutes to the shore to strap on the diving gear, and be in the water by 6:40am.
Sounds easy. It's not. While the dive porters have done 3/4 of the hard job of transporting the heavy tanks from the dive shop to the pebbly beach, stumbling from the beach to the water decked out in full gear and subsequently putting on your fins in the water as waves bash at you from all directions...well, you get the idea. Shore entry, you suck.
Woman, you crazy strong! |

Borobudur, Prambanan & Jogjakarta
After Bagan, Borobudur and Prambanan were lacklustre. The uncooperative weather prevented us from viewing the sunrise at the top of Borobudur. To entertain ourselves, we put Swan's newly acquired addiction for doing yoga poses at strange places to good use.
