Beach in Lombok

The day we arrived in Lombok, Ronnie and I walked down to the beach. He wanted to swim in the Bali Sea and I wanted to...you'll never guess...take photos!

We had been warned that the beach vendors would be very worrisome and make our time on the beach less than relaxing. It didn't take long to see how that works and you basically just need to learn to make eye contact and give a friendly but FIRM "no, thanks" and just keep walking. Naturally they are not going to accept the first "no" but after 4-5 times, they will finally take the "hint." One can purchase handmade jewelry, hand woven scarves and serapes, pearls or even a mani/pedi right there on the beach!

Here are some of my favorite photos from the day.
