Slowing down the pace in Indonesia: Nusa Lembongan

Part of a group of three islands just off Bali, Nusa Lembongan has all of the beauty but none of the crowds that characterise its bigger neighbour. Apart from low-key tourism, the main industry on the island is seaweed farming. At high tide, you’d never guess that below the surface lie neat cultivated patches, only revealed as the tide pulls back. Here a seaweed farmer attends to his crop. The seaweed is dried in the sun and sold to Japan where it’s used for food and cosmetics.
