Local Bali Aga people

The last way to the cemetery is to go by boat, no way on land is possible to walk. We were depended by the local people to hire a boat, but this villagers blackmail us with an inadmissible insolent high price. So we at first refused to go to the cemetery and said, that the next day we'll bring our own rubber dingy. Sudden they accept an price much much lower than the first offer (but still it was much too high).
Sadly, nowadays the boat trips are now blatant tourist traps, as touts and guides strongly urge you to donate your cash to the temple project or leave a donation for the dead. These touts ruin an otherwise fascinating experience.

This is an example like every where in such countries: Foreign tourist could spoil the mentality of local people a very short time after an cause to heavy problems for their future.
