At Kuta Beach in Lombok, Indonesia

Many people both locals and what few tourist are around spoke about "the perfect beach" called Kuta located in sountern Lombok - about a 2 hour drive from Senggigi Beach where I was staying. So I teamed up with a German couple and we split the cost of a driver and car for a day ($40) and we were off to Kuta Beach.


in terms of snow white sand and pristine waters and occupied by only a few locals - Kuta was indeed perfect. But this time of year it is incredibly dry in southern Lombok! The surrounding area was parched - like central Mexico AND there was. Only one vendor in the entire area selling young green coconuts.


There were some beautiful young girls around - almost all Sasak whose religion is a mixture of Hindu, Islam, and Animanisn. They were very friendly - this is a pic of me with a girl named Sante - "Nancy" in English. Her striking hazel eyes made her stand out - she was gorgeous - we talked and played in the water for a couple of hours.
