Gili Islands





Bali is beautiful. The weather, massages, food, cocktails, people and culture make it a place I already plan to revisit. It is hot, humid and I LOVE it!! At this time of year it is quiet which is great and I have found the locals more respectful than I expected. We havent' spent much time in Kuta yet though!

We have spent most of our time relaxing by the pool drinking cocktails or lounging in plastic chairs drinking beer at Billy's Bar on the beach.

On Friday night we went out and had a brillint night spending most of our time in a place called Sky Garden which is a 5 storey club (including rooftop) that had diferent music on each level!!! It ended with a 3.30am swin in the ocean - absolutley invigorating!

Michelle will fly home on Friday :-( and for my last week I hope to hire a scooter and have a wonder around the island. After speaking to a guy that spends alot of time here, there are quite a number of orphanages and homes that care for the homeless and disabled. It's just a matter of finding where they are.

I am writing this from the 'Lightening fast internet cafe' on Gili Trawangan Island. It took us 4 hours by 'super fast boat' to get here from Bali and we are just waiting for an 'island hoper' to take us to a quieter island called Gili Air. We have not booked accomodation, so will be interesting to see whether we get a very basic hut on the beach or luxury room with airconditioning and electicity - woohoo!!

Must shoot, but will write again soon when we make it back to the main Island. I also plan to upload some photos. Hope everyone is well. We are having a ball!!!

  1. Me thinks this one deserves all three ticks - lightning fast internet cafe - that's a gem and a four hour super fast boat - interesting mmm.... and " an island hoper "- that's insane! BUT the most important thing is you are having a ball!
