Coral Beach Bungalows Gili Trawangan

Today I did my 4th Divemaster exam and then took the rest of the day off :)<br><br>Over the past few days I've dived, helped Instructors out with teaching, listened to a couple of lectures, done a CPR/first aid course and studied. And it's pretty tiring to be honest!<br><br>There are 4 DMTs (Dive Master Trainees) at Blue Marlin here on Gili Trawangan which is probably a pretty good number - we can help each other out with stuff and we ...

... Lumpur and there is two kids on the seats in front of us crying and bashing themselves back and forward on their seats, being proper annoying little people!)<br><br>Anyway, I&#8217;ve veered again. The boat took 45 minutes, which is quite long compared with usual because the boat had to slow (almost to a stop) numerous times because of the waves. It should only take 25 minutes. A local lady must have seen the distress on Kate&#8217;s face as she kindly offered her for us ...

I gave up on Gili Trawangan after 4 nights and decided to come back to Bali a bit early. Why? I got bored! The main attraction for me was the snorkeling &#8211; and Gili T just didn't cut it! I did a snorkeling day trip which visited the 3 islands (Trawangan, Meno and Air), and all 3 spots were disappointing, although Gili Air was probably the better of the lot. I did see 2 large turtles off of Meno &#8211; but they were fairly deep so you really ...

I feel a bit cheeky about writing a travel blog about my 2 weeks in Indonesia, as it ended up being a lush 2 week holiday.... but nonetheless... I can't not blog so here we go.....<br><br>So my special guest from home, John, came over for the Indonesian leg.....<br><br>Kuala Lumpur<br>We met in KL, did some chilling pool-side at our bargainous hotel... and that evening went for a fab, cheap (50p) Indian meal in Chinatown, an expensive beer (5quid) at the skybar looking out ...

... bezpieczny i nietrudny w podrozowaniu, bardzo roznorodny przyrodniczo i kulturowo.<br>Trudno wymienic slabsze punkty na naszej trasie. Jako wyspa najmniej podobala sie Jawa, strasznie glosna i przeludniona ( 120mln ludzi ), jednak wulkany Bromo, Ijen i Merapi warte byly wizyty na Jawie. Z miejsc najmniej wspominac bedziemy Yogyakarte oraz Prambanan, kompletnie do pominieca przy podrozy przez Jawe.<br>Pozostale miejsca, ktore odwiedzilismy smialo mozemy polecac.<br>

... ride to our respective rides so I talked Lynn into going with me. Rumor had it, the party island had internet access and an ATM, and since she didn't know me very well, she believed me and we split the cost of the boat ride. Lucky for me, the rumors were right. There are several internet cafes that have reasonable speed sharing a satellite link. There are no motor powered vehicles so instead of hiking around the ...

... and - more embarrassingly - with the bill. Hangover #1 I awoke after noon the following day even though I'd been in bed before midnight - with a head on me which just wasn't of this world. I couldn't manage lunch/breakfast so went back to bed. At 3 I finally surfaced - downed a couple of pints of water and headed to make something of what was left of the day. I got a cycle and decided to do the one hour cycle around the island - big mistake - one ...

... in traditional Indonesia, you sit on the ground cross-legged. Three of you sit around a large serving plate, with many kinds of food surrounding it on smaller plates. A large mountain of rice sits in the middle &amp; you eat with your hands. A very interesting experience to say the least. Afterwards, the older men sit around, smoking &amp; talking about things for a long, long time. From there, Hamdi informed me that they now go on a long walk through the ...

Forgive me father it has been weeks since my last travel blog. Hope no one has been worried but our adventures have been continuing apace. The combination of semi high net rates and slow unreliable connections have conspired to ensure an absence of updates. Or last comunique left off in Ubud in Bali so we'll ...
