Islands

Bali

On the way to Bali we stopped in Kl for 2 reasons. 1, renewing our Visa and second shopping for some new wardrobe at the airport. The second reason was hardly possible, you would expect that such a big airport as KL has a lot of shops. But no, its almost empty. At least we got our visas done. We arrived, still looking like homeless people, on Bali and headed to a hotel near Ulu Watu, where Meli, a friend from Austria was already waiting for us. The hotel was luxurious and we felt happy and comfy. The next few days we have to admit we did not do that much, we were just enjoying our room and the conversations with Meli. And of course our first surfing experience on the Padang Padang beach, the hip surfer point on Bali. Surfing is really hard work but great and exciting.


Gili Islands

Beach, sun, crystal clear water and a good atmosphere. That is Gili T, it is one of the 3 islands between Lombok and Bali. Gili T is the biggest but you can round it within 2,5 hours by foot. The tiny islands are free from cars and scooters instead they have horse wagons. Along a stretch of 2 km are hotels and a lot of bars and restaurants. If you ever want to visit paradise come to Gili T. all 3 of us did some diving there and we saw many turtles and beautiful fish schools. One night after having a delicious dinner at one of the restaurants we met Sopi, one of the volunteers of the Cambodian school. We decided to go for some drinks, lucky us it was party night on Gili T. All the dive shops and bars were playing loud music or hired a live band. The vibe was great and we danced and drunk a lot.
