LOMBOK Senggigi - Lomboks Antwort(versuch) auf Balis Kuta Lombok, die oestliche Nachbarinsel zu Bali versucht mit allen Kraeften ebenso viele Touristen anzuziehen wie das weltbekannte Bali. Gluecklicherweise fuer uns, gelingt das noch nicht so ...
Terima Kasih, Indonesia!
... (if there is such a thing) we headed over to Lombok, where my adventure-loving mom let me talk her into climbing up Indonesia's second largest volcano. So we found ourselves in the foggy village of Senaru (elevation 600m) at the base ...
Gili-Senggigi
... , a slight change is welcome. A change not so much in the view, although this also apparent from the volcanic sand beaches along Lombok's West coast. More in the fact that we no longer have to brush our teeth or shower in salt water, especially before ...
Island Hopping
... Gili Trawangan (Where I was coming from), Gili Air is the nearest of the three Gili Islands to the shore of Lombok. More exciting than boardering Gili Meno but less boisterous than Gili Trawangan, Gili Air offers a nice compromise between the two making ...
fresh bread and cheese
Senggigi is a small beach town on the west coast of Lombok. There were plenty of pleasant bars and cafes to relax in and a long, rough, sandy beach where we swam in the bath-tub like water. One of the biggest highlights of Senggigi was the bakery selling ...
Bali
Back in Bali again after a very brief trip to see all our friends in Sri Lanka. Observations about Bali: Impossible to walk down the street for more than 5 metres without being asked whether you want to buy: - sunglasses, fake surf ...
Hot, hot, hot in Lombok!
... rain which dropped the temperature by a good 6-7 degrees I think! There is apparently a heat wave going through parts of Indonesia, including Lombok. This trip was planned for the first month of the rainy season, but we have seen very little rain so far ...
Day 11 - Lombok - Looking into a steaming volcano!
We got woken, (not that we were really asleep) in the dark hours of the morning by cracking water bottles and "Good Morning Mister Tim" and struggled up to some tea and biscuits before the dark climb up the last 500m for sunrise. The arvo before, as ...

It's Always Raining in Lombok...
... took us to a little place far from the tourist beat. It was the cheapest and most delicious food I have had yet in Indonesia. After lunch, we visited the sarong weaving village, and the structures of the homes and the way of life in the village ...
Not much story, just some more pics
Teaching is going a little slower and less efficient than I had hoped. One day last week I couldn't teach because it had rained and all my clean clothes were wet. Yesterday there were finals at school so the students were sitting for ...
Gili Air
... . It turned out to be a sweet farewell feast. Today we jump on the plane back to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Goodbye, Indonesia! Auch wenn wir nach unserem letzten Nacht-Transport eigentlich genug hatten, es schien der einzige effektive Weg um von Sumbawa ...
Lava me up
... have so many blisters that they look like bubble wrap. Our new expended crew, with the lovely Chris, head towards Kuta, Lombok (not Kuta, Bali). Kuta is everything Chris mentioned, we grab some motorbikes and do some exploring, the beaches are ...
Heaven, but spoilt by local touts
I decided to retrace my steps back to Bali via the Gilli islands as I could not get to Komodo and beyond. Someone had told me about these islanda and they sounded nice place to relax before I went back to Malacca for the Chinese New year. ...

So many hidden beach paradise here..
Lombok has a lot of hidden paradise. The beaches are so beautiful, calm and quite. I felt in love with this island. AMAZING!!! We must take care of this place from the damage of human being. ...
Its very Quiet here
Senggigi wasnt all we had thought it was going to be, we did go in the quiet season though so maybe that had alot to do with it. We got a lovely room with aircon and cable and did spend most of time in there enjoying the cold and telly haha. The beach ...
A few unlucky breaks
Broke my sandals. Sandal repair guy is off today. Nobody in town sells sandals big enough for my Bule feet.Got a sore and a bad cough. Everybody smokes. Didn't recharge my camera battery before setting out to take pics of my ...

Living it up with the locals in Indonesia
... made from coconut plants which was sold by the plastic bag - classy! Then i took a trip with Jimmy(one of the Balinese I'd met)to Lombok, an island to the east of Bali which is a lot less developed, on route to the Gilli Islands. It was a long journey ...
Mount Rinjani

Party Island
... palm-fringed beach with a nice coral reef ringing the island. This is one of the primary backpacker destinations in Indonesia. The boat trip from Lombok was an experience, with high waves and an almost gale force wind blowing onto a boat holding ...
Man-Mosquitos
After the Gilis, I had an offer to hop across to neighbouring Lombok to be shown around by a local guide on the back of his motorbike. It's a beautiful island, far less tourist oriented than its sister island across the water and with a much wilder feel. ...
Lombok
... it's only 70km but the ferry is really slow and takes around 8H to cover the distance. As with most public transportation in Indonesia, the ferry was old and carried more passengers than it should, but the trip went well and even though the ferry was 1.5 ...
Rice wine on the beach
Nice few days in Kuta Lombok, just what we needed to recover. Hanging out with locals and with a few friends from the Komodo trip, having bonfires on the beach while the children (yep, 11/12 years old were the organisers!!!) were singing and dancing. In ...
