Gili Trawangan, Indonesia

We took a ferry from Bali to the tiny magical island of Gili T. There are three Gili islands in total. No motorized vehicles are allowed on the Gili islands so it feels like we have been transported back in time - horse drawn carriages, bumpy dirt roads, and bicycles everywhere. The island has turquoise blue water and is surrounded by coral reefs. We went snorkeling and saw sea turtles everywhere. Andreas spent three days getting his SCUBA certification. I joined him his last day for a refresher course and for his last dive. We went down to 18m to check out a pier that sunk 20 years ago. We saw lion fish, cow fish, scorpion fish, and a manta shrimp. There were even bikes down there. We are still traveling with our squad of Americans. We also found out that all the water on this island is desalinated (although it is still a little salty) and the whole island is run on generators - electricity can be a little shotty.
