Day 18: First day on Gilli T

Arriving on Gili T signified the start of the relaxing bit of our holiday! After a lie in and breakfast at the hotel, our morning was spent at the gym which was a surprisingly decent set up. It was then time for lunch where we headed to a cafe called Coffee and Thyme which looked out over the beach - an excellent people watching spot.

We spent the afternoon sussing out diving/good food spots/shops etc. Time in the shops led to us buying ourselves a snorkel which we then took to the north of the island, supposedly to where the turtles were 🐢 Sadly there were no turtles, however we did see a good amount of fish and I managed to kick some coral, so came out of the sea looking like I had been bitten by a shark, which made me feel pretty epic.

Continuing with the chill out the theme, we headed to watch the new top gun movie at the beach cinema this evening and had dinner whilst we watched - I had pumpkin soup (again) and Sam had Mie Goreng (also again).

Another early night as we were wiped from all out travels!Read more
