Bintang Senggigi Hotel Lombok

... with their cooking speed. Groups that arrived 30 minutes after us had eaten and were leaving by the time we got our food. Nevertheless it was very good. We were re-untied with our bags at a small home stay and were packed into a car and sent to Lomboks port town Bangsal for the boat across to the Gili Islands. Now, for anyone travelling through Bangsal, most tour operators and taxi drivers have deals with the Bangsal tour operators. They will drop you at a ...

... quite expensive for a really small room, 150.000IDR/night. Geez! But I had to take it as the part of my trip. I couldn't expect everything always going well because thing doesn't always work according to plan.<br><br>This island was so peaceful. No cars, no motorbikes, only bycycles and cidomos. You can smell the fresh air, feel the sun, walk safely, enjoy the scenery, awesome! Also you can snorkel, dive, eat, party, have fun! No wonder this island is so famous with its ...

Dzien zaczyna sie wczesnie bo o 7:00 umowieni jestesmy na zabranie nas z hotelu do przystani promowej Padang Bai. Stad odplywaja promy na Lombok. Wioska pelna jest miejscowych biurek podrozy, ktore oferuja swoje uslugi transportowe na Lombok oraz wyspe Nusa Penida. Jest tez sporo natretnych chodzacych sprzedawcow artykulow spozywczych jak w tego typu miejscach. Po dwutygodniowym obcowaniu z nimi to juz bardzo nie przeszkadza, a nawet rozmowa z nimi ...

So I'm writing this when I'm actually back in Kuta Bali- a very VERY different experience from little Kuta Lombok. This tiny little surfers town has about 2 main places to stay, no banks- millions of motorbikes with surfboards strapped to them and some of the most stunning beaches I've seen yet. O ya and with absolutely no one on them. After a beautiful drive from North Western Lombok to the south east...where Kuta is.. I arrived at Surfers Inn. A famous place that gets ...

... to find the best one to go diving with in the afternoon. We found one going to Shark Point so booked our places and headed to the beach for a spot of snorkeling. At 2pm we went to the dive school, got our gear ready and jumped on the boat. Didn't take long to get out to Shark Point where we jumped in and floated down... Really good visibility, and awesome coral covering the bottom, around 23m down. Loads of ...

... to the main road and were invited by him to a small shelter on the hillside. The shelter was meant for exactly this purpose - for villagers walking the countryside, tending to the fields and such, to escape from a monsoon downpour or the blistering heat. The dude, who spoke basically no English, was a really nice kid and he went out in the pouring rain to pull some peanut/bean like plant out of the ground for us to snack on. However, as ...

... tutt'altro. Decido di fermarmi qui altri tre giorni; e fanculo il visto, a quello ci pensero' a tempo debito. Intanto mi godo Gili, ho tempo per finire un paio di racconti che avevo in sospeso, di chiacchierare un po' con una coppia di irlandesi molto simpatici che avevo conosciuto a Bali, di leggere, e di pensare al da farsi. Dunque, a Flores devo arrivarci, in qualche modo; sia perche' e' sulla strada per Timor, sia perche' tra vulcani, montagne, villaggi e tribu ...

... with great views of the sunset). We had a great dinner which ended with the whole staff signing happy birthday (Indonesian version) and presenting a cake with Jaime's name written on top. It was a very entertaining night. The next day we decided to head down to Sengigi which is the main resort town, very small, with several good ...

... Only 20 more minutes along the rim and we were at the first camp. The site sat on the ridge with a rudimentry set up of to jagged cuts in the rock to hide between from the wind. Luckily our tents had flys and even more so it stopped raining before we needed to retire. The clouds broke a bit more and we could see the crater, the lake and the active volcano below, as well as the sun setting in the distance. It was beautiful ...

Singapore. What can we say about this little place? It was the easiest, most western place we'd visited to date and with a bit a jungle fever lurking in our systems, that wasn't a bad thing. Cream of chicken cup-a-soups and brown bread were on offer - which oddly felt like a present from the gods. A stroll around the city led us to a bankers' bar, full of expats clumsily warming their glasses of Champagne in failed attempts to climb the social ladder. (You'll never loose those Basildon ...
