Visiting the beaches close to Kuta

This morning I actually went on a little visit... I went to visit the nearby beaches on a motorbike with a spanish girl that I met in the hotel.

First a couple of lines on this person. They are a couple  of surfers from Santander (north of Spain) which I met on the first day. I sat in the restaurant having a wonderful burguer, much deserved after days and days of asian food... and I heard them wispering and looking at my burguer longingly. As they were talking in Spanish they we not quite wispering, more like talking out loud, which is what you do when you think no one understands you anyway, so I though it prudent to let them know I was also spanish before they said something they would later regret... :)
My next encounter with the girl was also interesting as we met in the spa. I was all spaced out after a massage; she was going into get her hair treated after the hotel swimming pool had turned it green...

So, as I was saying, she offered to take me to some of the other beaches that are close by while her boyfriend went to some world renowned wave (desert point?).

The south of Lombok is made of a number of coves, one after the other, all of them aparently very good for surfing appart from being remote and mostly empty lovely beaches... the trip was really nice, even if the road gave us a thorough butt massage. The motorbike gives you the freedom of going from one place to the other quickly, so we stoped and continued a few times. I also found out a bit about the surfing, with a lot of different types of waves and little boats that take you to were the waves are, which are not actually at the beach as I thought up to this point... all in all a very nice unexpected experience! !
