Lombok 2015 ~ Gili Trawangan Island

Hai. I was in Lombok, one of my dream destination. Now one of the bucket item crossed since I'm here *so happy. Terima Kasih pada Yana yang banyak menyumbang untuk trip ini - book tiket, study Lombok especially Gili Island. Misz-ella memang tak terkejar sebab terlalu busy. Thanks again, Yana.

Lombok mainland island and Pulau Gili Trawangan (the biggest), Pulau Gili Air (second biggest) and Pulau Gili Meno (smallest). Lombok is the island that i always wanted to go .. its one of my wishlist. Suka gila dapat ke sini.

Penerbangan ke Lombok melalui AirAsia mengambil masa 3 jam. Immediately arrived the Lombok mainland we headed to The Gili Trawangan Island. The journey from the airport to the jetty is about 2 hours.

Tips :- Take Bluebird Taxi at the airport or Rent A Car like us. We Rent-A-Car at IDR250,000 only.

On the way to the Jetty, there are a lot of 'semangka' (watermelon) stalls. We dropped by at one of the stall to buy 2 pcs of 'semangka' at IDR25,000 only.

From the jetty you will have 2 options - take the public boat or private speed boat. Private speed boat journey to Gili Trawangan Island is about 10-12 minits. The cost is IDR400,000.

The public boat cost you IDR15,000/person only. But its gonna take so much of your time. They will make sure the boat is full before they start the ride and the journey is 35 minutes.

We took a speed boat cos we are crazy tired and late. Keluar rumah pukul 6 pagi .. sudah tiada lagi 'energy'

The Ladies Trip to Lombok

The speed boat driver, the luggage and the life jacket. Safety? Ummmmm .. memang tak ada. 

Gili Trawangan Beach - Ahhhh .. indah. Bahagia biji mata. Hehe.

Ahhhhh .. tergoda *jatuh cinta*

 Our speed boat name is Arsenal. Fuhhh .. melantun-lantun kitorang dilambung ombak yang kuat. Luckily its 10 minits only.

Gili Trawangan means The Floating Gili, referring to the word 'terawang-awangan' in Malay Language. 

Gili Trawangan Beach

The happening Gili Trawangan Island. Meriah dan cantik. Hurmmmm ... jatuh cinta.

Check In at Gili T Resort *3 star* Location is superb tapi biliknya biasa-biasa aje. Rate : IDR600,000/night. The best location to stay in Gili Trawangan Beach is near to the Jetty and Gili T Resort is one of them but not really recommended - the room is small, service is not good.

We rented a bicycle in Gili Trawangan. Gili Trawangan is so fresh and natural. There is no car at all in this beautiful island. Its either you cycle or take the 'cidomo' (the horse ride). Fresh air here .. ahhhh we enjoyed the fresh air while KL is so hazey at this time *happy* Rent a bicycle at IDR50,000 only. Check the bicycle condition before you agree. Mine is without the bell. 

The track is quite challenging at a certain point but no worry .. its all flat .. no hill climbing. 

Be careful cos we are sharing the route with 'cidomos' - the horse. Horse dia ada 'hon', bicycle i tak da. Ohhh scary when the cidomos start to horn me. Stress Misz-ella. Haha.

We went to The Exile, 4km from Gili T Resort and took lots of picture. Why is Gili Trawangan so beautiful? *jatuh cinta*

The beautiful white, clean sandy beach, the fresh air, the nice people, the delicious food *ahhh .. jatuh cinta lagi* Gili Trawangan, Lombok, Indonesia ada auranya yang tersendiri. Yana kata Kak Ella nyanyi la Buai Laju-Laju Aku Nak Kahwin Dengan Anak Raja .. Lol!!

 Music, entertainment by the beach is common here. The island never sleeps ..

 Dinner at Gili Trawangan Night Market. Tempat paling hot for local food dinner.

Set Ikan Siakap Bakar dan 3 Nasi IDR80,000 sahaja. Tambah Ayam IDR10,000. Ohhh melompat mak sebab murah. Heaven for seafood lover. 

After dinner we survey Snorkelling Package. IDR100,000 only for 4 hours trip

 Day 1 was definitely a tiring day for us. Tapi happy. Nanti Misz-ella cerita lagi. Bye.
