Indonesia has loads of beautiful beaches and with Kuta (Bali) out of the way, it was time to visit another. Gilli islands are a group of 3 paradise islands off the main island of Lombok that have no cars or motorbikes on them, just horse & cart to get you around. Obviously there's gotta be the hard work of travelling to the island, which took 2 buses and a 5hr boat ride, which we slept on by hiring mattresses-PIMPING. Leive was still with us but we found her a dutch compandre, Elle, who we met in Thailand and caught up with her in Bali. They just chatted shit in dutch while we talked about important relevant things in life-true story! We had to get a small boat (20min) to Gilli Trawangan, the backpacker island, but the boat was a nightmare. The sea was pretty rough, which resulted in me getting drenched but one girl dropped her bag and one fell in- don't laugh!
Finding cheap accommodation took a while but the island was expensive for our budget. We met up with Alejandro and the 2 Canandians who we met in Thailand but they had another Canadian with them who looked like Bart Simpson, so we welcomed him with both arms and chilled with them the night. We both made sure we got a good nights sleep before we went on the beach to sleep some more and that was what pretty much happened for our days on the island, apart from one day when we went around the island but that didn't take long at all.
We found a nice cheap restaurant that had a buffet style lunch/dinner and ate there for most nights. We went to the free cinema (a projector) one night but you had to buy something to watch the movie, which was kick ass by the way-funny movie, and with the 21% service charge, it turned out to be a bit of a cheeky skank. Watching the Germans beat England was our last night and with that loss it was time to leave the island.
