Gili Air

Our room at Eazy Gili Homestay
The "big" market

Next island in the archipelago- Lombok- and off the northwest coast of Lombok, there are 3 small islands, called the Gilis. We picked the smallest- Gili Air- 90 minutes around by bicycle, no vehicles (only horse drawn carriages), and intermittent electricity. Our hotel had a cold salt water shower, and even so, the tank ran dry at one point. (What do you want for $5.70/night?) But it was the most relaxing, wonderful place. Snorkeling off the shore was excellent and we ate all our meals in ocean front restaurants for a couple of bucks. We went for a day or two, ended up staying six. It was hard to leave.
