At sea, heading for Kuala Lampur
Relaxing day at sea. Went for a mani and pedi touch up. Celebrity threw a party for past cruisers, so Paula, Rob and I went. The wine and champagne was flowing...every time we said 'no' to more, they dropped it on our table anyway. And lots of ...
No Problem
The Gillis is a place you could easily get stuck in! We have been here 6 days & its the longest we have been in one place on our travels. Its a small island that you can walk around in 2 hours, there are no roads or motorbikes, just bicycles ...

A little slice of heaven...
Advice number one: When asked to choose between a “local” or “tourist” boat back to the main land, no matter if it’s four times cheaper, always take the fucking “tourist” one!! I’m considering myself ...
Lombok
Lentopäivä, saavuimme tänään Lombokkiin, Indonesiaan. Lähtö oli tuttuun tapaan aamulla klo 6: ensin autolla kentälle noin tunti, lentsikalla kolme tuntia ja taas mentiin autolla puolitoista tuntia. Lentokoneessa oli ilmastointi niin kovalla, ...
Aurinko laskee
Koko päivän on ropissut, välillä hiljaa ja välillä lujaa, oli ukkosta ja nyt tuulee. Taitaa olla taas Panssarilaiva Potemkinin kuvaukset tulossa... Sateen ropistessa bongasin terasilta tummanvihreän liskon jolla oli keltaisia pilkkuja, noin ...
MON coup de coeur ... les Gilis
... cart, puis au retour je prends un petit Diet Coke au resto en ne finissant pas d’admirer cette eau turquoise et Lombok’s Gunung Rinjani qui est juste de l’autre côté. Honnêtement, même les Fidjis ne sont pas aussi ...
Snorkelling trip to the Gili Islands
Took Perama tour to 3 Gili Islands. Cost 28.5 $. Got bus to Gili boat dock. Took boat to Gili Trawangan. Stayed there for 1.5 hours. Did snorkelling at 3 different spots and had lunch on Gili Air. Saw 2 turtles swimming among the reefs, and they came up ...
Our first dive and a night at the races (kind of!)
I can sum up today in one simple word.... awesome!! We did our first open water dive, had an awesome night with a great feed and a few drinks, and the Turkish F1 playing live on the TV at 8pm (a nice change from the usual late Sunday nights in ...
Pool, Sea and Food!
Today we probably spent almost more time in the water than we did on land. After going over our theory and doing a couple of tests it was straight to the pool to practice a pile of skills. We would have been in the pool for at least 3 hours straight but ...
Verletzungspause
Vom deutschen Paradies gings direkt in die nächste Deutschlandversammlung bei Andreas, der seine ganze Familie aus Deutschland zu Besuch hatte. So waren wir nun in der Sekotong-Bucht Angekommen und Sonja konnte endlich ein Affenbaby auf den Armen ...

PRAISE BE TO ALLAH!!!
My luggage arrived fom Bali on the boat this morning!! Dude, I seriously feel like the smartest person on earth for making that happen! It took like three days of negotiations. I prayed to tom cruise, oprah winfrey and the jewish god, but ...
Port day: Lombok, Indonesia
We arrived at Lombok at 6am and dropped anchor in Lembar harbour. Lombok is an island in the Indonesia archipelago immediately to the east of Bali. It resembles Bali in size and natural vegetation but is relatively underdeveloped. The port of Lembar is ...
Alla scoperta dei villaggi Sasak
... di negozi di tessuti dove si può anche vedere da vicino le donne al lavoro sui telai tradizionali. Possiamo dire che anche Lombok l'abbiamo spuntata e visitata ben bene e ci siamo da subito accorti della differenza abissale che c'è tra l'isola e Bali. ...
I Found Paradise...
28th Aug: We catch what I imagine an immigrants boat to be like over to Gilli T and arrive at the most beautiful beach - white sand and the bluest sea I think I've ever seen. Very chilled out vibe with restaurants lining the sand, ...
Op bezoek bij Brigitte
... Maar goed ik was wel lekker opgeschoten in mn boek. Godzijdank konden we rond half zes het vliegtuig in voor onze vlucht naar Lombok via Medan en Jakarta. Uiteindelijk kwamen we rond 5 uur aan op het nieuwe vliegveld van Lombok. Het vliegveld was pas een ...
Livet är jobbigt
Att komma till en ö, utan tillräckligt med kontanter, var inte helt genomtänkt. Jag fick därför hoppa på morgonbåten över till Gili T, för att se till att vi klarade oss ytterligare ett par nätter, ute ...
Sköldpaddor
Idag hyrde vi snorkelingutrustning och simmade ut bland korallreven. Gili Meno är helt omgärdad med rev, så det räckte att vi simmade rakt ut från vår strand, för att vi skulle få se massa fisk. Dessutom fick vi ...
En helt vanlig dag i turkost vatten
På den västra sidan finns ett av öns bästa korallrev, som en fransk dykare tipsat oss om. Det var minst lika fint där som utanför vår stuga, men strömmarna var lite starkare. Vi var helt slut när vi tog ...
Life is calling, where are you?
Att leva efter en budget är inget vi kommer föreläsa om eller skriva en bok om. Det räckte med en middags, småsint, räknande för att vi skulle ge upp och växla in våra reservdollar. Lyckligtvis kunde öns ...
Lombok
... . We politely smiled the whole time, while shevelling spoonfull of whatever we had in our "banana leaf" (used as plates in Indonesia). Ayuni spoke excellent english that she has learnt from tourists and we got to learn a great deal about Lombok ...
Dive course certification day!!
Woke up about 7am for an early start at the dive course. We learnt about using the dive computers to map and track your dive. They are like a giant watch that do all fancy things to ensure you are safe when diving. Our first dive of the day was a 9am to ...
Bali
I took a day trip up into the more remote regions of the country. As soon as I get in the car, the driver asks where I am from. Now, I understand how it may sound prejudice to be a little nervous about telling a ...
