Comments	The Bad - the budget flights is the main issue. from SG to Indonesia, transit for at least 2hours then rush for connecting flights due to delays and change of boarding entrance. Communications and signage is another issue. [just have to accept it.] The Good - even though the Pondoks- rooms are not air-conditioned, it's only hot during midday but it's cool during the nights and evening. the Food - they do their best to cater to all nationalities. I would have preferred that more local dish served. no worries... food a plenty and tasty desserts for lunch, dinner and tea. The Diving - AWESOME! read the full report submitted by one of Undercurrent member a few issues back. It's comprehensive. Make sure to dive at ODIMA and the Jetty dive site. It only rain on a couple of days in December. perfect weather.
