Monitor Lizards, rolling surf, sun drenched beachs


The 11th was a quiet day, went for a couple of swims, read my book, and chatted with a couple of people staying at my guest house. The waves were really good, not good for surfing or though there were a few people out, but it was good for body surfing. The Lady who runs Bintang Guest house was saying that normally the sea is flat calm at this time of year. Have to say glad there were waves otherwise it would have been a bit boring.
The monitor lizards are everywhere, wandering across paths, through the bush, some of them are fairly big things, just poking their tongues out and wandering of you try and take photos of them. They all seem to be a bit camera shy.
Anyway dinner that night was at the Bintang restaurant, very good meal and excellent banana pancakes O so good. As the sun slowly set behind the hill, the lights of the restaurants came on and the music started to play. O yes forgot to mention but Perhentain Islands also means girls in bikinis worshiping the sun god, all day long. I really don’t know how they do it, I would have been like a lobster if I tried that.
I took a stroll down the beach and there are a few bars that sell Alcohol but overall it was pretty quiet. The moon was out a full and drenched the water in a silvery glow. The mosquitoes did not seem as bad here as some of the other places I have stayed which was good because it has given my body a bit of time to recover after I was attacked last time. The next day I had booked for a snorkeling trip.
