Breakfast at 8:15 for the 9am fastboat to the Gili Trawangan, largest of the three Gili Islands. It is beautiful here and has a really fun vibe. We check into our bungalow before hiring bikes and going for a cycle around the one mile square island. There are no motor vehicles on the island so push-bikes and horse pulled carts are the only transport option. It is a welcome break from spending most of the last few days driving and in hectic towns centres.
Many of the sea front eateries display the days catch for your picking. We had an incredibly delicious and fresh meal of grilled gambas, prawns and tripley at a paraffin lamp lit table on the beach before heading over to the Horizontal Bar to take advantage of their beach ‘beds’ and bonfire.
As we sipped on our triple strength cocktails the group in front of us leapt from their seats urgently calling a waiter and a great deal of commotion ensued. We were later informed that the group had found a scorpion on their lounger.
