Indonesia - Lombok & Gili Islands

This is Sengiggi, Lombok.  Lombok is the island to the immediate right of Bali and a little smaller.  Whereas Bali is mainly Hindu, Lombok is mainly Muslim

In Lombok, don't piss the Vespa riders off...

The Gili Islands are all round Lombok, but the main 3 are off to the north west, very close together and are called Gili Air, Gili Meno and Gili Trawangan.  This is Air, the smallest and fairly quiet and chilled.  Freak waves came in as we sat there and nearly destroyed this boat until the (very brave) boatman jumped onboard and took it further out

Gili Air is great for snorkeling.  I swam with a turtle there.  We stayed in a place called Blue Moon Bungalows.  There was another place called Scalliwags which we nearly went to

Finding somewhere to chill isn't difficult

No vehicles are allowed on the Gili Islands, so horse and cart do the work and taxiing

There are loads of raised beach places to sit and enjoy a beer

We watched the sun set at one

It's one of the best places we've seen the sunset at

We've had worse evenings...
