Tete Batu -> Kuta

Left the camp about 10.30 today - another girl Charlotte was also going to Kuta so we split the cost which was good!

Arrived in Kuta about 12.30, it’s worth saying that Kuta Lombok is a very different place to Kuta Bali- which is the party place for Aussies! Kuta Lombok is a very chill surfer town; probably will become more like Bali in the next few years but for now it is not too developed. Logged back onto WiFi as I hadn’t had any for 3 days so needed to do some admin- especially booking some Thailand stuff with Fran, Holly and George for March! And hopefully sorting out a girl for my room with Laura. 🤞🏻

Went for some lunch (avo on toast) and was walking around town when I bumped into Vitoria who was in the hostel at Gili Air. A few of the people from there are now here so I went over to their hostel me Vitoria and Hilde decided to go to the beach. Now to get to the beaches here you really need a moped so I decided to be brave and rent one! The roads here are really well paved and super quiet so it’s a much better place to do it than Bali. It went ok! Took me a little bit to get used to but it was all good!

We drove to a beach called Selong Belanak which was about 30mins away but the scenery on the drive was unreal- and the beach was amazing. White sand, some surf and just a few shacks and sunbeds. The girls were debating getting surfboards but decided against it so we just chilled and swam. Headed back to Kuta about 5 and then went to a pizza place for dinner 🍕Okumaya devam et
