Gili Air Hotel Lombok

... arrive in Bangsal, do not stop at any tourist office and say no to anyone who approaches you trying to make a deal. Keep walking until you get to the harbour (which is a beach with a line of boats) then ask to be pointed to the ‘Loket’ (ticket office) and the locals will point you in the right direction. Also, take a bluebird taxi straight to the harbour, and make sure you keep the telephone number so you can phone one to collect you when you come ...

Lombok Island has thousands of kilometers of beaches, and millions of square kilometers of water, making it a paradise for water sport enthusiasts of all the time.

Which will attract every heart with fascination. Some describe the island as ...

... swarm trying to high five me and wave. I discovers some picturesque beaches that were empty, got bananas thrown at me by monkeys and managed to get kicked out of the one super expensive hotel that I sneaked into. All in all a good day. I met some great people at the hotel and they took me surfing to one of the main surf breaks called Gropak- there I managed to drink the waves instead of ride them but it was fun. Also went to this amazing vegetarian Cafe called Ashtari ...

... a huge cuttlefish. The last section was made pretty easy by an underwater current allowing us to drift. On the way up to the surface a turtle provided entertainment during the decompression stop, best dive of the trip so far! Back on dry land we had a quick lunch then packed up our stuff to go to the next island along, Gili Meno, in the morning. In the evening we ate at a restaurant / private cinema which was different

... mee this guy". Oh Jake, we love him (for the record, we did not meet this guy). Riding the Northern Loop Through Monkey Forest Steve took off early on the morning of Feb 12 to return to the US via Bangkok. Jake found a really shady dirtbike from one of the guys and was going to ride around the island for a few days. Jake, Sarah, Mary and I all set out together on the northern coastal road. We quickly lost Jake on the route. Sarah was ...

... fino a qui per arrendermi sul piu' bello, quindi ero pronto a partire per una nuova odissea. Ero. Come non detto. Dopo piu' di una settimana sono ancora su quest'isola ed ogni giorno mi ripetevo la solita frase: "Domani parto". E puntualmente il giorno dopo mi svegliavo e mi dicevo: "Ma chi me lo fa fare di ripartire?". In fondo in fondo non avevo la minima idea di quando sarei ripartito. L'unico problema resta il visto: avevo anche trovato la soluzione per ...

... headed over to Gili Meno for lunch. We ate at a great beach café with elevated wooden platforms where you can lay out and eat lunch while the water flows underneath. We ended our stay with some more relaxing and snorkeling. The weather had turned more windy so the ride home was a little rough but we made it after almost two hours on the boat.

... there and the next half was the hardest. That it was. Just gravel and straight up, we all went at it alone. Each of us finding different ways to keep going. I found the method of taking about 10steps and then curling into a ball to breathe and hide my frozen hands for about a minute to work just fine. Although I am sure anyone who could see me thought I was crazy and who knows with the altitude and lack of food I could be on my way ...

... stopped. (In fact I expect I will have to spoon out my left eyeball as part of the undisclosed fee for writing this entry but it will be a 'good price for you, sir'). From here we planned a stay in the Gilis and then on to Komodo. The Gilis were fine and it was a chance to continue being led around the world by our taste buds - these guys can really cook. But that's where the charm of the place stops. As I lay there at night the difference between being stalked by mosquitoes and the ...
