Bapak Runi and his Home on the hillside over Mawi bay.

Real living, in one the most beautiful locations (above and below the water) that i know. Many a happy fish dish was prepaired and enjoyed under this roof.

Before i left Pa Runi caught and gave to me one of his cockerels, as we posed with it for a last photo the bird pulled free of the string round it's leg and made a dash for the bushes and was followed by Pa Runi, Ebu Runi (wife no2) and a shower of fishing nets and rocks. Eventually the spear gun came out and a high speed chase ensued over the rice paddys.
In the end I was forced to hit the long bumpy road home chookless. But Pa Runi did say he'll call it Nick and feed it up for next time i come back to Lombok.
