We met our taxi driver from day before at 0630 to get to Padang Bai ferry port . Our ferry wasn't until 0930 , but the journey can be unpredictable depending on traffic .... we ended up arriving 2 hours early , but better than 2 hours late !
The ferry port was so busy , people everywhere with no order to it at all . Once we grabbed our tickets and paid the island tax we went and sat at a local warung for some breakfast . The two hours flew by and we were soon boarding our little speed boat to Gili T .
The journey was about two hours long and the harbour at Gili T was also packed full of people. We pushed our way through and managed to get a horse and carriage to our little beach bungalow further up the island.
There are no motor vehicles on the island , so transport is literally biking or horse riding . The island is so small anyway, you couldn't justify having a car !
We loved our ten min horse and carriage ride , the rider was very chatty and funny . He explained that we had the biggest and strongest stalion on the island - therefore he named the horse Toyota . James and I were literally in hysterics.
We soon arrived at our little bungalow resort , our bungalow was more like an elevated hut with the toilet and shower on ground level . It was basic but so cute and cosy.
Once settled in , we went and sat by the beach for a good while . The sea bed is all coral and the water is very shallow , so we paddled about rather than swam. It was beautiful but again totally overcrowded with Instagram obsessed tourists . We found it very funny watching people pose vainly for the camera for that "perfect shot" đ€Ł.
There were lots of people riding horses along the beach in front of the sunset . One thing we do love about Bali are the sunsets - just stunning .
Gili T is famous for partying and magic shrooms , there was a Dutch man next to us that kept staring at rocks (and photographing them) and saying "what the ****" , turns out he was as high as a kite on shrooms đ€Ł.
We had some food at a local restaurant and we were shocked at how expensive the food is over here . We knew it would be more pricey than the mainland but wasn't expecting it to be by so much !LĂ€s mer
