Day 21: LOMBOK: GILI ISLANDS (GILI TRAWANGAN)
Thursday, June 30, 2011
Today we set the alarm a little earlier, why Roger has to be at 8 in the morning at Bubble Dive Center for his sea baptism and his session of diving in the Gili Islands.
We have breakfast at the buffet (lots of varieties), although in Villa Ombak it is already everything but personalized.
The breakfast area is huge and we start to see the queues in front of the dishes ... mmm ... we don't like this too much 🙂
After breakfast Roger goes to his first diving in the Gili Islands and I stay between the pool, the main street of the island, taking walks ... and taking the opportunity to devour the books that I have brought on a trip with us.
He arrives about 12 o'clock, excited about the diving in the Gili Islands, especially with the turtle that he has seen next to him and was one of the illusions he had for this trip to Indonesia.
Roger has had almost nothing breakfast for diving very soon, so
We decided that it is time to take another turn and eat. In the end we ended up at the Italian restaurant yesterday, which is right next to the hotel.
After eating, we go back to our room to rest more than we already are!

It is seen that these days that we have left, as we said yesterday, will not give for many explanations
In the afternoon we leave the hotel, ready to go to look for the sunset, so we go around half an island, taking the opportunity to take some pictures ...

And as usual with impressive things, the sunset surprises us almost without realizing it. Is awesome. We see next to it, Batur volcano, from Bali.

Today the sky is very clear, so we see another one of these sunsets that this country is accustoming us to, although we cannot deny that this has been one of the best ... it has been worth going around almost the whole island ... and if you do not look the pictures:

It will be hard to forget about them.

Back to the busiest area of the Gili Islands, before dinner, we stop at a bar for a drink and make time until the time the stomach starts to itch ...
Before going to dinner, we return to the Bubble, because Roger tomorrow wants to do another dive.
He asked to take out the Padi, but he would need 4 days of diving in the Gili Islands, studying about 5 hours and then water as many. So he decides that he will take it out in Spain and here he will enjoy what he can.

After this and almost elbowing us down the street of the amount of people there are, we will have dinner at the Irish Pub. We see it quite full, so it gives us the confidence that we will like it ... and so it is, the food is good , although I did not quite find the point. But that's my thing… :)
And today we have finished the day on the terrace of our lumbung of Villa Ombak, watching the stars ...
