Gili Trawangan

Hello guys. :)
Whats up with u guys ?

On Saturday we left Kuta beach for Gili Trawangan. We had to get up around 06:00 witch kind off sucked but when u have to u have to. It where a 5 hour trip (Van and speedboat) witch we paid 500 000 Rp pr person for. During the travel we hear people saying they had been riped off and some had even paid as much as 800 000 Rp for the tickets. So for a first time we did a bargan :) It feels good :) hehe

Well arived to Gili Trawangan around 12:00, we found our self on a hotel chase along side with 20 other human beeings who desperatly needed acomadation for their stay on Gili. Felt we where in one of them amayzing raze competition :). U know went there is one goal and u have to get to that point by solve clues that comes your way. And btw I belived we hit the jacpot with our hotel/hostel/bungalow (not sure what to call it). so I belive we won the race :) hmm, a little bit of track here now but anyway....

Gili Trawangan is one of the 3 islandgroups located outside Lombok. The population is about 800 and the island consiste of a main streeth alongside the beach and there are several activities offers around. Like vulcano hiking, canooing, diving, different kind of water sports and I rekond ever thing u need. For us this way the ultimate paradise to arrive to after Kuta beach. White sand, sunny, crystal clear water, friendly locals and no motorbikes.

Did u get that, NO MOTORBIKES!!! :) :) big smiles..... As mentioned there are no motorized vehicles on the 3 islands witch made the impression priceless for us. I mean its so nice to see a place that is clean, fresh and where they take care of the environment like they do here. The two transports options u have here is a cidomo and a bike. The bike u can rent from wherever and the cidomo u get on the main road. :) And in the age of 24 I think i am starting to like horses a bit. How about that?? hehe. The people on the island are amayzing. Friendly, helpful and funny. Like I asked around for a gym and Andy ( a guy that works in a bar) said he would take me to a local gym tomorrow. And at the same time u get invited to play football with them. :) just simply awsome :) The life here works cause of the turists who set their feet on the beach each day and every place is influenced by that. I have heard from Andy that during the high season it can be crazy here and he doesnt really like it that much when there is to many tourists. But now its low season so now its perfect he says. :) just right for us as well. And the people we have met so far has been great :) Best of luck Bjorn and Tobias.

So back to the bungalow. We found Rumah Saga hidden away a little bit away from the hot spots. And that my friends means that its cheaper :) and that we like. So we met this two guys who looked abit like P.Diddy and Dr.Dre who runned the place. And since its the low season we got the bungalow down from 380 000 to 300 000 Rp. (300 Rp = 23 euro). And its awsome, pool, breakfast included, huge ass room, two beds (I have my own now, yeahy hehe) tv with dvd player and 15 movies. The kind of movies that are on in the cinamas in Helsinki right now. :) brand new once. Off caurse fake but who cares :) we like it spes since it rained yesterday and Betty had to recover from the bed bugs biting the shit out of her. :( not so nice of them.... Did we tell u about that btw?? The two last nights on Kuta we had a serious bed bug problem and Betty (she got sensitiv skin) reacted pretty bad so her ties kind off swelled and she looked like this girl.

We have stayed here now for 2 days and we simply just love it (I think you would too Adrian and Cara). We havent done much cause the wether as been eighter bad or really good. So the first day we chilled in the bungalow watching a couple of movies since it was pissing down outside. :( and today its been amayzing so we have chilled by the pool and breathing sun for a couple of hours. Greath, except for the fact that I (Julian) had a hangover from last night. Football night with the guys. :) good times and the best side won so I quess thats fare. :) Later today we will go and eat and then we are watching a movie at 21:00. Salt with Angelina Joilie.

Tomorrow we are set to go for a bike ride around the island if the weather alows it. And then maby do some fishing or shopping a new bikini for Betty. And we would def do a fun dive and maby also a night dive wile we are here. Hear its alot of sharks here Adrian. :) so I know we would have fun and I can only hope you are doing the same.

Thats it for today guys. But more will come from the amayzing gili Trawangen island. :)
Take care.
