Gili Air! Back to the islands. We met Seb (from Bangkok) with his gf Abi at the port which was a massive coincidence. Ferry over to Gili was super rough, only took 1.5 hours. When we got there, as we got the late ferry, we checked into Sayang Mama inn and went out to watch the sunset which was one of the best I’ve ever seen. This place was made for sunsets. We went to talk to a few dive schools about diving in the morning too. After that we went to Warung sunny for dinner where we were joined by a cat guest. Played some monopoly deal then headed to bed. (After the hottest crepe in the world too)
Next morning we had a wander around the island (which you could walk in 30/40 mins around if you wanted), got Amy some seasickness pills and then went to the dive centre for the afternoon dive. The dive had quite a large current due to it being low tide so Amy and the other beginner did struggle but we saw 5 turtles! Was disappointed about the visibility tho, especially after Nusa Penida. That evening we of course headed back to the beach for sunset - got dinner and drinks at Legend Bar and then watched some live reggae next door.
Next day was a beach hop and snorkelling day! I saw a turtle about 10 metres out from shore which was amazing and just spent some time with him before exploring further. We grabbed a Caesar salad for lunch, read a book and soaked in a sun after that until we headed back, got ready and headed out for sunset again, Moscow mules and sunset Timelapse’s tonight. We went to Warung Mexicana for some amazing food and then went to sleep.
Next day we got the 11am ferry to Bali and headed to Ubud (got screwed for the shuttle so had to pay out for another taxi annoyingly)Read more
