• Gili Trawangan II

    January 4, 2020 in Indonesia

    Day 2, in Gili Trawangan. I woke up and got my free breakfast, fruits and pancakes. Something I can never get tired off traveling around South East Asia. I ate what I could and headed to the beach to Gili Bong, where Sam was. Sam's such a kind and funny guy, his vibes were so good. That's why I decided to go with his magic mushroom shake. He gave me a discount and gave me 4 grams worth. I drank it all and proceeded to sit by the beach bench. Anxiety started to kick-in as the come-up started and I started to worry that my skin was gonna get super tanned because of the sun and the ocean wind. So I went to Sam to borrow some sunscreen, and he did lend me some with a perplexed look saying it was very cloudy today. The trip started to kick-in hard, I was getting mad closed eyed visuals. I let Sam take care of my bag while I went swimming and then back again. Frida also planned to take hers but I took mine as I was quite impatient and wanted to get started. I started to gain such intense euphoria, I had to go back to Sam and ask what do I do with it and he told me to go out there and throw it in the ocean so I did just that and went to have a swim. I enjoyed playing in the sand, like a little kid.

    Michael and Laurence came by while I was still coming up and I enjoyed Michael`s company while he had a drink. They were biking around the island. At the same time, I was tripping too hard and was absolutely floored. There were other people in the area having fun with me, I met my friend El, who offered to take me to see some sea turtles. I was afraid I would drown so I backed out much to my regret now. Seeing turtles would have been hella dope. There was another guy tripping with me and he mentioned Spongebob which made me laugh my ass off while I was sitting on the floor playing with the sand. I had also made known to Sam that I wanted to buy some E for the party.

    I went back to the water for a bit where I finally saw Frida. She was laughing at me and I encouraged her to join me so she went to the Sam`s while he brewed her his concoction. Michael and Laurence finished their second round of biking and came by again, but this time I was tripping too much and was excited and gave Laurence a hug but ended up getting a lot of sand on her. Fast forward, now both me and Frida are tripping, she was happy and laughing at first, I was enjoying it a lot. The next time, I saw her, she had tears in her eyes but I was too far gone to understand what was happening. She had to go back to her hostel she said, and I let her go. Meanwhile, I ended up in the far end of the ocean and some of the people I met while tripping tried to get me back to the beach by I was just getting annoyed and wanted to be left alone so I proceeded to go even further while it stormed. Suddenly, I entered pure tranquility. Despite the waves, the rain and the wind, I could hear absolutely nothing. Complete silence and stillness of time. It was a moment of pure bliss and profound peace. I later found my way back to the beach as they said Frida was calling me only to be found out I was tricked but for my own good as they didn`t want me to drown.

    The trip subsided as the rain picked up, flooding the streets and I had to take my now wet bag from Sam and made my way back to my hostel with someone escorting me. I arrived at my hostel, still having enhanced visuals and color saturation but took my shower and had a rest in my room for long time. At night, I met up with Frida for dinner where she told me about her trip, she was reborn and was able to solve a lot of childhood trauma that manifested during the trip. I went out to get my superman pill from Sam and headed back to my hostel where they were already getting the pre-party started. I took my pill and tried hanging out with some people but I still wasn`t in the mood as everyone was drunk. As the pill started to work, and it worked quite well actually, I began to feel very euphoric and quite friendly and in the mood to talk to everyone. I ended up in the drunk Aussie group once again but this time they welcomed me with open arms. We did a lot of stupid shit to be honest. Soon it was time to head to the Jungle once again.

    Everything was awesome, the lights, music, the people. I met Fran and two other guys who also wanted to roll with me. I decided to introduce them to Sam as well. I saw Michael and Laurence as well, again! It was a pleasant surprise and we danced together too. Danced the night away with some more alcohol and cigarettes, and after the drug wore off, I headed back to my hostel having some mild hallucinations and seeing my own thoughts, drifting off while my roommate was arguing with his girlfriend on the phone.
