Soka Beach, our first sight of the Indian Ocean on the trip to Negara.

Making concrete blocks on the beach. Cement and crushed rock arrives by truck, sand and water come from the small creek next to the shed. They have one mould and get Rp300 (less than 5 cents Aust.) per brick to share between them. The truck takes away the results of their efforts.

The welcome mat is out at Puri Dajuma Cottages.
