Gilli islands / Islas Gilli

Hay tres Gillis.

Gilli Trabagawan, Gilli Air y Gilli Meno.
La primera (Gilli T) es la mas turistica, donde hay mas joda, miles de restaurantes. El encanto de estas islas es que no hay autos, ni motos. Lo unico en lo que se puede recorrer la isla es a pie, en bicicleta o a en carreta ( y en lancha por mar).

Nosotras nos quedamos en Gilli T.

DIVING: Acuadiction. Great teacher, Dani, and a great first dive. 70 usd.

HOTEL: Not worth mentioning ours as it is a basic room, though it was quite clean, and had TV and a nice toilet all for 250K rupias.

FAST BOAT: we recommend Blue Beach Express. It cost us 750K return ticket but after asking around we discovered it was one of the best services in the islands. It picked us up in Sanur and took as on a bus to Padangbai and from there to Gilli T or to any of the islands. We came back from Lombok and it worked out amazingly well at the end.

DO snorkel as much as possible as you will see turtles and amazing sea life.

We arrived at Gilli in the afternoon and searched for hotels all around till we found a ver nice room on with aircon, TV, dvd and nice bathroom ( no hot water ).

That same day we rented bicycles to go around the island. We were so excited, we just kept on saying "this is amazing, this is amazing". The water was incredibly torquoise, sand was white and it all had such a relaxing vibe. The restaurants were all trendy yellowish lighted set on the beach. We did notice the islands population was slighly young, on their twenties side, but we didn't mind much at that point.

"We are staying long" Agus decided.
"Mmm..okay. Why not?" I said.

Every night there is a different party celebrated in the island. So if you want to go out you might as well ask around.

All kind of drugs on this islands, and it gets incredibly irritating the way they try to sell them around. "Marihuana, marihuana..." you'll hear that word a thousand times per day, but don't let it get into your nerves. Maybe take a mushroom shake just for kicks, which is legal in the island and have a nice colourful trip.

Only possible mean of transportation:
