Dr Julian,
I am glad you made it to Nusa Penida. Bill Dalton painted a picture of black magic and a convict past in his description of Nusa Penida in his Indonesia Handbook, not that there is anything wrong with living in a country with a convict past!
In 2009, the RoRo Ferry to Nusa Penida definitely left from Padang Bai. However, the Lonely Planet Guide to Bali and Lombok claims that this RoRo Ferry leaves from Kusamba, which I find hard to believe.
Did you find out where this RoRo Ferry actually departs from?
