If we have loved the Island of Gods, the pearl of Indonesia, which has had such great tourist success for many years now, we can't deny that it is suffering for its fame. The environment is deteriorating year by year, mainly due to the plague of plastic which is everywhere and which the government does nothing about. Rubbish is not treated and the plastic remains.

No to plastic

Catch nature unawares as she wakes up...or at least that's what it feels like when you are on the wonderful 2,329 metre high Mount Bromo, on the east of the island of Java. An absolutely spectacular and unforgettable moment.  If you don't appreciate nature then don't bother!

The island of Serangan is nicknamed 'Turtle Island' thanks to the variety of turtles you'll spot when snorkelling or diving. There are numerous tourist centres that benefit from this unusual attraction. Note: there's only one turtle conservation centre, which is on the edge of town and hard to find - even my taxi driver didn't know where it was. You can go on a guided tour and learn all about turtles, as well as the centre's conservation projects. You can even adopt a turtle and release it back into the wild!
The island is small, being only 3km by 1km and I had the chance to laze on the beach and explore the depths.
It's touristy but fun all the same. You can also go swimming with dolphins, but I'm against this as the animals are often mistreated.
A visit to the Pura Sakenan Temple is, however, well worth the while. It's one of the six most sacred temples on the island of Bali.
