Me at the food market at Gili Trawangan! Where I was in my element surrounded by fresh fish BBQ’s, endless versions of noodles and fried rice, chicken sate, sweetcorn frittas and corn on the cobs! The Backpackers flock from all over the island to eat like a king for a dollar or two.
We decided to play it safe and pay a little extra to get the fast boat to the Gili’s! The other option being the 9 hour s-l-o-w boat. Little did we know that the current that runs between Lombok and the Gili islands makes the waves so choppy we found oursleves clinging onto the rails of the top deck. In a desperate attempt for some mid-day rays we perservered. A little under 2 hours later, we arrived, drenched and bedraggled at Gili Trawagnan! We saw Anna and Alex in the distance waving frantically and were helped down a rickety ladder onto the golden sands, to begin our 4 days in paradise!
