Kotok Island

Idul Fitri is the holiday that means break fast. Ramadan is over and its time to eat in a grand style. No dates allowed please as each Moslem breaks the fast each day for 30 days with the eating of a date. The fruit!!!! My social mentor decided that it was time to get out of Jakarta and see clean ocean water for snorkeling and fresh air. Alright, it is true that some places in the water and some parts of the day the pollution and trash from Jakarta did catch up to us, but for the most part it was beautiful and calm, the resort staff were friendly and some of the guests were a hoot to hang with. I do not remember a time I laughed that much.

The lizard is an island pet along with his family and they try to get closer to the diners during meals by climbing up on the deck. (They live underneath.) They are scary, but docile like cats. Want to take one home? They are all over the island. We also had a visit from an osprey that swooped down for a tasty morsel of fish that a diner placed on the railing.
