gili trawangan - Lombok

Lombok is my favorite beach in Indonesia..it has clear ocean,white sands beach and also u can find sea turtle here. I went there on July 2010 with my friend, There's only 3 airlines from Jakarta to Lombok which are Garuda, Lion Air and i forgot the last one..sorry..
It took 1 hour and 45 minutes from Jakarta. The airport in Lombok Island is super small (smaller than Phuket airport). But u can find lots of taxis here. We took taxi to Qunci Pool Villa in senggigi..which is very nice and more like private resort for me.

This is Qunci pool villa.

We only stay a night in qunci villa because we wanna stay in Gili Trawangan, the biggest island in Gili islands that is famous with it's beach. It took 20 min by speed boat from Lombok island to Gili Trawangan and cost IDR 250.000 for return trip/pax. We stay in Villa Ombak, it's one of the biggest resort in Gili Trawangan, however i'm not so comfortable with it's outdoor bathroom..yes outdoor. The toilet and the shower is outside the room,but it's covered by high wall. Still i feel insecure..*sigh and also the water that comes out of the shower are salt water but they provide clear water in a big jar made from clay..FYI the clear water can not be drink even after it's boiled. That's why u have to buy lots of "mineral water" for drinks.

You can booked tour directly there..it's everywhere along the beach and also in a cheap price. I suggest u bring ur own life jackets (they didn't provide it,but they rent it) and ur own snorkeling kit (it's more comfortable for me..kinda gross think it was used by lots of people) we bring our own snorkeling kit and life jacket.

This is me with pink google, it's on Gili Air ocean (near to Gili trawangan) usually tour guide will bring u to gili Air,Gili trawangan and gili Meno.

U can see lots of fish and even KAME (it's japanese language for sea turtle)in those Gilis. In Gili Trawangan u can find lots of restaurants (mostly open after 5pm) u can have a romantic dinner on the beach side or in semi outdoor restaurant. most of restaurant were owned by an expatriat. So u can find lots of international foods. Foods are great but u should ask for a well cooked food. My friend got food poisoning here (the funny thing is we shared food but i didn't get any food poisoning).Thanks God there is a clinic (the only one i think) in Villa ombak. But he's getting better after been inpatient for a night.

Well, since the food poisoning really took my time, we can't explore further in Gili Trawangan. However. u Should come to Lombok and also Gili trawangan.

Cheers..
