      It's really nice driving through beautiful small villages which dot the coastline of the island. Lots of smiles and calls of 'mister mister' as we go past. The faces of the people of this island are an amazing mix and you can see resemblance from nearby Papua, Islander, Australian Aboriginal and even Indian and African.

      We stop a lovely mangrove beach. Lila finds an idealic swing over the sea which is currently at mid high tide. We get a nice shelter here for some monsoonal rainfalls, before continuing along the coast passing amazing turquoise waters with quaint little wooden fishing boats in sheltered bays.

      We reach beautiful 'Pantai Battu Putih' which is essentially the end of the road. The road does continue however they say it's about 1 hr for 2 km to get the the neighbouring village! We turn back for town as more rains threaten and get treated to a gorgeous rainbow as we find some more shelter from another downpour.
