22-23 06 09 Permuteran, Lovina + Danau Bratan

After the massive cockup day before, we finally stranded by chance in Permuteran, a place hardly any backpacker might have heard of before....
...and a totally different experience....a 4 star hotel for 1 night...
Classy hotel, an empty beach (only a few couples who might have spent their honeymoon here)...sun, coconut palms...what do you want more?!??!
Quiet strange though that the beach was kindda dark (volcanoe "sand")...

After half a day over there...heading to Lovina, second beach town, now with more tourists (but still not enough to be kept in peace by the local touts...."Mr. , wanna buy fruit??"
..Next day heading direction Ubud, seeing the mountain side araound Danau Bratan with another temple (luckily as well the chance to attend a funeral....strange to see them celebrating it in a totally different colour code-white- as I'm used from Europe)...and then....hitchhiking direction....
??!
OK, Ubud didn't work out, so...heading to Denpasar, Bali capital and one of the most "smoggy" cities I've ever seen....
At least we had the chance to experience a traditional Bali dance...before...(next day)..
