After three quick days of sailing we made it from Borneo to the island of Belitung where the adventures never cease. This was one of the most beautiful islands yet and the 4 of us crew members stayed in a beach bungalow for less than $10 each. There was plenty of rain on the island, but it didn't keep us inside!
Here is Tanjung Kelyang Beach - and this is the view from our beach cottage!
There was a very casual sea turtle conservation center on the beach run by a local. Yeah baby sea turtles!
We tried to go snorkeling in the rain, but once the thunder and lightening started we high tailed it back to our cottage. Safety first!
Beripat - traditional whip fighting.
Matt got pulled up to join the fun. I am pretty sure this is going to end up on Indonesia's Funniest Home Videos!
The winner is the one with the least amount of whip marks on their back at the end of the game. Matt got his butt kicked!
We took a lovely walk down the beach hoping to catch the sunset while snorkeling.
Our walk was derailed by Winda, the local in the middle, who literally chased us down the beach screaming at us to stop because we are beautiful. And then forced us to joint her family for photos and food.
What would friendship be without karaoke to celebrate???
The next day we rented scooters and drove to an ecolodge in Batu Mentas. Check out our sweet safari tent!
A real shower!!!!!!! A miracle!!!!!
I can't believe we forgot the 6 pack to float down behind us.
And we even got to see this cute little booger, a tarsier!
