Gili Islands

It’s much much better than any Indonesian beach, no cars, no crowds of tourist, great snorkeling. In fact, if you want to see the fishes you don’t have to snorkel, just take a dip in the beach!

I stayed on Gili Air, and visited Meno briefly. This was one of the most breathtakingly gorgeous places I have ever been in my life.

It was very peaceful, quite, and laid-back. The food was included in the bungalow I stayed at, which was ok, but not great. Good snorkling though, and an overall very relaxing experience. Then again, all this was about 20 years ago, so things could’ve changed.

and gorgeous coral.

The mosque played the morning prayer
over a P.A. from a record. There was
a skip in the record so it would Akbar,
Akbar, Akbar, Akbar.. until the mullah
would pick up the needle.

I had to cover my face with my sarong
because I was laughing so hard.

the most beautiful place I ever went to, and I intend to live in this very island forever… ..sigh…
