At the small coastal village of Lipah or driver/guide left us and returned
to Ubud. Staying at the Coral View cottages cost $20. U.S. a night including
breakfast, for two. Rooms had fans but hot water not working. We negotiated
a boat for the next morning to take us out to the site of a Japanese wreck
in a coral reef for 75,000 Rupiah ($10. U.S.) where we snorkled for two
hours. At only eight degrees below the equator, the water was warm and we
were delighted with all the colorful fish and coral we saw. These boats are
hewn from logs and are very narrow.
