Corals and colored fishes again, Gili Islands

---

HALO (Hello),

We arrived at Lombok Island by boat from Padangbai. It took five hours. We were transferred to a minibus to Bangsal . Waiting one hour for the boat we were on Gili Trawangan Island late evening.

We found a hotel at the center with fan only ( Trawangan Cottages, 125 INR=USD10.0 incl. Breakfast).

The first day we tried snorkling areas on Gili Trawangan. Second day we rested on the beach. One day we went to Lombok and visited pottary villages for shopping pottary. We spent some time on Sengigi which is the famous coast on Lombok. There was no improvement since 1997.

Two days we made island hoping tours to Gili Air and Gili Memo. We snorkelled at various beautiful coral gardens, turtle walls (turtles can be watched around these cliff like deep mountain breaks). Coral reefs and the fishes were colourful . The last day we made a picnic on the coral view beach and snorkelled several times.

The ambiance at night at restaurants along the beach is like a dream. Usually we enjoyed dinners at Beach House BBQ managed by foreigners.

Tomorrow we will return to Bali for the last two days.

SAMPAI JUMPA LAGI ( Bye bye, see you again).
