At the Snake Temple (where there are poisonous vipers all over the altars):


Our driver showing us around a random fruit stall half-way up a mountain. Sells all the weird local fruits - jackfruit, durian, longans, rambutan, starfruit etc. We bought a bunch of small, tasty bananas:

The island's main water supply:

Local fishing village:

Local Batik market (a tradition cloth, made with a manual wax-resist dyeing technique):
