Not even 24 hours after a sunrise trek, reaching the skies, we decided it was time to make our way to the crystal clear waters and white sandy beaches of Gili Trawangan. Needless to say it was a nice change of pace and scenery, which also proved to be less challenging than the busy beaches and streets of Kuta.
We spent our days snorkeling, swimming, and biking around the island with a perimeter of only around 7kms.
The only modes of transport on the Gili Islands are horse-drawn carts, push bikes, or foot which made a pleasant change from the craziness of motor bikes and cars in Bali.
On our first night on the island we stopped by the Irish Pub for a drink after dinner where we bumped into a few other travelers. Safe to say, that one drink may have turned into a few.
We continued to meet up every night after until we left the island.
We made some good friends at the Irish.
A couple of nights were spent checking out the night markets to sample some of the best seafood the Gilis have to offer.
Gili Islands was well worth a visit, and we didn't want to leave! It was a little slice of white sandy paradise on earth.
