are OK, I think I saw that they offer transfer hotel to hotel, so they should be organising maybe a transfer to the smaller boat to the boat ramp next to Playgrounds. Hope you love Lembongan. Also Playgrounds used to have a canoe that you can use, hint don't take camera or anything valuable in case you tip over!! I lost ALL my Equal sugar sweetner, it disolved when we tipped over (essential for bali kopi) and couldn't buy any on the island.
Take care if hiring motorbike, if you haven't got indo or international bike licence you are not covered by travel insurance, and there are gravelly bits on the roads, suggest hiring bicycles and riding clockwise around the island and also take the swing bridge over to next island Cenigan. If you go out along the road to the Mangrove area, stop at Nyoman's Warung on the way, right next to a beach, she is a georgeous hard working lady who used to work at Playgrounds, even if to stop for a cold drink. She may/may not remember Annie/Graeme and son Sam from Melbourne, it's been 2 years since last there.
Watching the seaweed farmers harvest in the late afternoons is really interesting. Explore the little beach along the pathway to your left when coming out of Playgrounds, nice spot.
Enjoy! here is link to one of my JBR's http://www.btf-archives.com/archive200608/11589.html
