Lombok

Hello All!

So, I REALLY suck at keeping this up to date...I admit it, it's a fact...But I have tons of updates! :) I have been travelling quite a lot lately...And I have tons of great pics and stories! I'll go to my trip of 10 days where I flew to Lombok...

So Lombok, to give you a better idea, is an island situated east of Bali, and I think it is even more beautiful ( but then again, I didn't see much of Bali!). So I arrived at the airport and some people picked me up and showed me around. The next day, I went to the Gili islands (there are 3, but Gili Trawangan is the 'party' island and the most popular!) which are AWESOME! No motor is allowed on the islands and no dogs either...It is very peaceful and quiet! This picture here really reflects the essence of the island and it is NOT fake!!! :D I really took it when I was taking a tour of the island...1 hour to do the tour of the island....hehehe!!! I REALLY suggest these islands if you go on a honeymoon or if you love diving...Met lotsa people who snorkelled and dove and it was beautiful! In the past, fishermen used bombs to fish, which destroyed all the corals, but the wildlife is still very beautiful...Or so I've heard!!!! :)

So I lazed away on this island and I soaked up the sun...Took a bit of color and did some work, because unfortunately, I am still not finished with my project...Still have to do the evaluation! (Am currently woring on it :) and I hope to be finished ASAP!)

So on the Monday, Apri 17th, I headed to Bali, Kuta more specifically. The bus and boat ride were pretty interesting and I got a chance to meet very nice people! And I met them in Bali too!

Anyways, Lombok is the undiscovered jewel of Indonesia. Everyone is amazed by Bali but I think that these islands are DEFINITELY work it. And for my German readers: Es gibt viele deutsche Kneipen und Restaurants auf dieser Insel! Habe Schikennudeln uns Kaiserschmarn gegessen und ich habe mich wie zu Hause gefuehlt fuer gut 2 Stunden! Es loehnt sich :D *s*
