Many of y
ou will know I am not over keen on snakes. I had almost convinced myself that there were not any in Indonesia, then had four encounters in quick succession. The first was some sort of very large constrictor kept as a ‘pet’ at Tanah Lot. The next was a water snake which had the audacity to block my way off one of the jetties on Sanur beach. There was one in a pile of wood on a neighbour’s porch during my last trip to Rote. This was very swiftly dispatched with hatchets and thrown in pieces to the dogs. Then again today I was sat at the Bonsai Café on Sanur beach with a group of volunteers when a sea snake decided to move up the beach in the direction 
of our table. I moved even quicker away from the sea. One of the waiters came and grabbed it by the tail and after swinging it round his head threw it back into the sea.
