... will have to read their blog to find out how that went (link to blog). In the afternoon the four of us went back to our pool (of course) and relaxed with a couple of more beers... As a last note on that we think it is very commendable what they are doing and wish them all the best with their endavours and their travels!

The next day we were off to the Gili Islands. These are three islands north west of Lombok with apparantly great beaches, great dive sites and a ...

... If only! [Rich: Good times! Tom and I also spent ages trying to perfect Tom standing on my shoulders; good jon he'd lost some weight!] We went out for a quiet drink that night - skipping Zigiz and its loud music. We instead chose a local restaurant and were 'treated' to an exceptionally bad musical performance by this bloke called Wayan. We we later got chatting to him- after inquiring about our future travel plans, he proudly told us that he ...

... for their brief moment of glory or defe*t. The winner gets to t*ke the loosing rooster home for dinner. You c*n see them lined up in hoop sh*ped b*skets outside homes everywhere.

... but not a large portion. This place charged 15% on top of the prices (10% tax, 5% gratuity) and I tipped another 10,000 Rp in addition to that since I had used their Internet so frequently. The Swedish girls ordered salads, which were both absolutely enormous. They both seemed full after eating only a salad for dinner, although one of the girls had salmon on her salad. The day before we left, Lisa and I walked back to the pharmacy to restock some of the medicine ...

... to our hotel. We get greeted by a pretty woman with some refreshing guava juice, literally we just walk into the hotel and she throws it into our faces. Then grabs our passports, makes us sit down, hands us cold towels and runs away. Before we know it, a dude is wheeling our luggage (and Ravneet) to our room. Now thats service.
