Tranquil beaches of Gili Air, facing Gili Meno.
"You take ferry here"
Here? Hmm... Doesn't look like we're getting on a big boat. It was a small boat, more like a long-tail boat you get in Thailand but wider and double in length. I can't imagine taking these boats during rough seas as I'm sure it will just tip over, especially if the weight distribution is not even.
20 minutes later we were on Gili Air, the second largest of the 3 islands is a perfect getaway after a long journey up Mt. Rinjani. The guys were beat, I'm still sore hence Gili Air was the best choice as we wanted to relax and take it easy for a few days.
As soon as we got here, managed to get a room for Rp.200,000 a night, free wifi with fan. Although we had a communal showers and toilets, it was really good for its price. Before we explored the island, I jumped into the shower only to realise that we didn't have hot showers (which was fine as the island it too hot and humid) but it was salt water! Fresh water is a rare commodity here so salt water is normal. Even after a shower, you're still sticky and my hair... Now I look like a proper backpacker.
