After returning from the scuba diving adventure, I went for a long walk on the beach. The black sand beaches of North Bali are one of the most intriguing attributes of the area. They look absolutely stunning, and if walked on for long enough, give quite a decent pedicure for those with road weary feet. Another sunset passed and it was time to grab a quick dinner and head back to the room for an early night's sleep before the 6am dolphin watch the next day.

another sunny day has come and gone away
The next morning, I woke up and walked down to the beach to meet the boat to go out dolphin spotting. The boats used for this look like long wooden canoes with bamboo poles for arms on either side to prevent from tipping over. There were about 30 or so other similar boats out on the water with the same goal of seeing those dolphins. At first they all milled about in the same area, waiting for the first sign of the elusive dolphins, but then as more and more groups of dolphins appeared, all the boats veered off in different directions trying to get as close as possible for all of us Flipper fans. My boat was able to get close to one group in particular. Please pardon my lack of great photos, but I was too excited to see a dolphin in person to care much about the pictures I took. I tried to catch one to bring back to LeMoyne, but no such luck. It was nice to hang out with some fellow 'Phins, even if it was only for a little while.
