Day 1
Gili T
May 7, 2017 in Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
The fast boat crossing from Padang Bai to Gili T takes an hour and a half, and it does go fast! The waters were choppy and someone was sick during our crossing 😷 but the staff were really good and cleaned it up very fast!
We stayed at Gili Flush Harmony which was a couple of streets back from the main strip. Instantly we felt at home and relaxed, it's a small place with only 5 Bungalows and a nice pool. The staff and all other residents were really warm and welcoming and the banana pancakes for breakfast were amazing 👌🏻 we loved it here so much we ended up extending by 2 nights.
As it was a Sunday and being typical northerners we found a place doing roast dinners (with Yorkshire puds and stuffing 🙌🏼) We made some friends with a couple of girls who we ended up out with! Gili T has a party at different bar locations each nights inRead more

Day 6
Gili Meno
May 12, 2017 in Indonesia ⋅ 🌧 10 °C
We arrived on Gili Meno just after 4pm after getting the ten minute boat from Gili T. We headed straight out to watch sunset on the west coast. Meno is much smaller than Gili T and very quiet and peaceful. We had a couple of chilled drinks and a nice meal in the centre that evening. We had big plans for snorkelling the next day and got fully kitted out with snorkel, mask and flippers - bailey with the go pro attachment on his head. After 20 minutes of swimming and seeing some fish we realised that after scuba diving snorkelling is pretty rubbish and we hate the sea, sand and coral! Moving further north on the island we stopped at seri hotel and spent a lovely day chilling on their comfy sun loungers, using the pool and spa. Gili Meno is supposedly for honeymooning couples and families due to it being so quiet and peaceful, we found 2 nights to be enough.Read more

Day 10
Gili Air

The third and final of the Gili Islands that we will be visiting during our trip. Really enjoying the island lifestyle, this place is a cool mix between the madness and parties of Gili T and the chilled vibe of Meno. Bikes are a must to get around the place.. trying to cycle in sand is probably my biggest issue of the day 😤 Bailey likes to put this in perspective for me and remind me that we are currently on a paradise island, snorkelling with turtles and sipping on banana smoothies all day! The locals on Air are very friendly and you can't get far without someone wanting to say hello and have a chat. We arrived by the public boat from Gili Meno for only 70RHP - bargain. The beers (bintang) are cheap and the happy hour cocktails do the trick! We went to a hotel called Ombak on Monday night for outdoor cinema on the beach and watched Drive on big comfy beanbag chairs. Spent a day at scratch beach club on the west coast which is definitely worth a visit. A little spot called Ruby's does amazing curry 👌🏻 number 2 on trip advisor and well deserved. The sunsets on all the Gili islands seem to be amazing but Air has definitely delivered some of the best so far.Read more
