    What a great video Freddie and Monica. I first visited Lembongan in 2007 and fell in love - 16 years later and our hearts are just as full, having built The Tamarind Resort - one of the largest employers on the island. Anyone thinking of visiting, feel free to ask me any questions - we'd love to host you or help you find the best place to stay to suit your needs. Enjoy! Monty

    First visited Lembongan in 2007 and have been back a couple of times since. Pleasantly surprised at the slow pace of development! Also made it across to Nusa Penida which is much larger than both Lembongan and Cerningan but lacked development at that time due to the absence of a reliable source of freshwater. Not sure what the situation is now but I recall the crossing from Lembongan to Penida being super rough! Fascinating voyages of discovery, and glad to see you're not just plodding around Bali. If you can make time then the early morning hike up Gunung (Mount) Batur to watch the sunrise over Gunung Agung (the mountain you can see from Lembongan) is well worth it.

You should try Selong Belanak beach on the south, it's very stunning for me, but the mountainous area on the north like Sembalun area is also epic. Lombok also have trio smaller island like the Penida/Lembongan/Ceningan of Bali, it is Gili Air, Gili Meno, and Gili Trawangan. But you're not allowed to ride any motorized vehicle in all of these small island trio. But since you're still in Bali, I suggest you explore Penida first. For me personally Penida is the best island from all of the Nusa's trio.

    Wow. Spent a week on Nusa Lembogan 25 years ago. Nothing but surfers and seaweed collectors in the lagoon, just a couple places to stay. Only one little path and a couple of cars. You had to take an outboard boat with outriggers to get there. My it has changed. Years ago the Japanese went around to islands around Indonesia and set up these seaweed “farms.” If you look closely you’ll see a rope grid through the whole basin where the weeds grow and are periodically stripped then dried and sold to the wholesalers. It seriously changed the flow through the lagoon and caused a lot of beach erosion but it looks like it is much less active than it was.

    Fascinating you mention this! Four years ago when we were last here there no seaweed farmers inbetween the two island and there were pristine white sandy beaches. Those beaches have now disappeared and been replaced with sludge- I think because of the effect the seaweed farms have had on the water flow.

    @@FreddieDobbs I think has a lot to do with big business not wanting to settle there due to transportation costs, so the place doesn't get spoilt by so called investment, which has a knock on effect that politicians can't influence them either, making islands chilled and relatively self organised and so a happier place.

    Mate your vlogin is streaks ahead of the competition. As far as high calibre quality content goes, built upon your productions unique style of presentation. Motorcycle travels & reviews, never looked so good. In tandem with your informative yet very natural flare for having great dialog, audio & camera work too. Seriously, that is nek level gear shifting dynamics, involving prep & planning with meticulous attention to detail, objectives, destinations and locations. I might add... Consistently so too. There any questions? Did I cover that all adequately enough to commend your work? I mean to say even in the marketing department, endorsements & editing... is it any surprise... the rise in viewership of your channel and subscriptions follow to your credit. Few reality television shows manage to tick all those boxes. Hosted better than anyone else I'd rate, nor could they near match the way the two of you interact & engage your audience in the moment. Unscripted and natural flowing narratives. Keeping it organically true to be... Really Real reviews, real people... Must be hands down amongst the best on KZread to date. Love to hook you up over my way sometime for a ride to write home about. Please feel free to look me up when you're back in Indonesia again, Freddy & Mon. I live in Bandung, West Java, where traffic is mental as anything, but it's also of the ubiquitous kind of unique, as is the scenery besides to.see, on a motor...

The reason he's not wearing a helmet is because the roads are so slow and narrow there that you'll never go faster than 20 km/h, and it's really really hot.
