Day 22: LOMBOK: GILI ISLANDS (GILI TRAWANGAN)
Friday, July 1, 2011
Good Morning!!! It's 7 in the morning and today is the first day we have completely free since we arrived at Indonesia.
Well me, why Roger has a dive at 1.30 noon, so leave me alone until lunchtime and time to enjoy the Gili Trawangan beaches.
We will have breakfast at the Gili Trawangan hotel in the Gili Islands around 8:30 in the morning and we will find what is a full-fledged tourist buffet.
Really the Villa Ombak, the facilities and everything is very good, but now we had become accustomed to the luxury of being 10 rooms in our hotels trip to Indonesia, almost without crossing anyone ... personalized breakfasts ... and this is great now!
But well, we can do nothing, so we go to one of the tables that are free and we start to have breakfast what is already in the trays.
About 9 we went for a walk in the beaches of Gili Trawangan, without any concrete idea, but when we realize we take almost an hour.

It is a heart attack and we see that we are almost in the middle of the island, so we decided that it is best to continue now and complete the entire lap by the beaches of Gili Trawangan.

We have to stop for a drink halfway and when they say where we come from they tell us we are crazy!

So after cooling off a bit, we decided that for what we have left, it is best to make the whole trip to the island Gili Trawangan.

Back to the hotel
And when we get back to our hotel, 2 and a half hours have passed: it's not bad at all!
After this, we pass a little above the hotel, to one of the beaches of Gili Trawangan They don't have so many people and we bathe there and sunbathe for a while.

At the time that Roger has stayed, I stay in one of the bars of the hotel, having a drink and updating the travel diary ...
About 4 in the afternoon and after eating something and being in the hotel pool, I decided that it was time to go to the room to rest.
Roger has arrived shortly after his second underwater adventure. This time he has seen more fish, but not turtles as closely as yesterday ...
It was worth it anyway. The second dive for 400,000 rupees. A gift.

We have rested for a while in the room and we have gone for a walk and dinner and above all to ask the schedules of tomorrow for Gili Meno another of the Gili Islands.
Since tomorrow is our last day, we have decided that we will go to Gili Meno to spend the day.
We confirm that the boat leaves at 9.30 in the morning at 500 meters from our hotel and that the return is at 15.20h. Perfect. And the price is 80000 rupees both, round trip. What more can we ask for !!
From here we will go for a walk and we will have dinner at the “usual” Trattoria. We have become fond! After so many days of Indonesian food, now there is no one who can take us from the Italian.
We ate a couple of pizzas, two waters and a tiramisu. All for about 300,000 rupees.
Tomorrow we will have to change some money again for the last 2 days in the Gili Islands, because I see that what we change in Bali does not reach us !! LOL
We leave early at Villa Ombak. These days we are checking that the less we do, the less we want to do !!
Good evening… Tomorrow Gili Meno !!!
