Serangan Fishing Village

Last Sunday, after church, we decided to take a leisurely stroll over to a nearby fishing village that, we were told, was an excellent place to find large seashells. Well, we didn't find any shells, but we did see a lot of pretty cool stuff. We ended up walking about 6 miles!

Serangan is actually a separate island connected to Bali by a bridge.

All those tiny dots in the water are fisherman. They wade out up to their waist or chest to fish.

I don't think that boat is going anywhere anytime soon. :)

Some of these ships look like something out of Pirates of the Carribean!

The entire island is made up of this white coral. So even the dirt and dust are white! Crazy.

Here are some houses in the village. Cement floors. No glass in the windows, just bamboo "curtains"

We could've bought our very own rooster! This is how they sell them. We did see some cock fighting going on. JP wouldn't let me get close enough to see the action. He thought it would be too gruesome for me.

The locals were all very friendly and loved having their pictures taken. Notice that no seatbelts are required. haha

Seaweed is also harvested here. They pull it from the ocean and lay it out to dry on the sidewalks. Then they sort it and cut it up to be used in food and probably sold to some local spas for treatments.

Catch of the day! These guys were pretty big.

BBQ Fish-ka-bobs! Yum! They smelled so good and I don't even like fish!

They had these fish stands everywhere. Only $1 for a fishstick and scoop of rice. Not a bad meal! This is actually what I envisioned us eating over here. But these stands are only in the non-tourist areas.
