We had a 6am start, packed up and went for the hotel breakfast that they specially prepared for us as we were leaving before breakfast started. The taxi took nearly 2 hours to get us to Padang Bai harbour. There were loads of people going over. We sat on top of the boat all the way over with the sun beaming down and wind in our hair! The boat staff asked to use my phone for music on the boat. I sat with it the whole time and acted as DJ... Pressure! It took an hour and 30 minutes to get to Trawangan island. It was busy on arrival. We got our big rucksacks and headed to find the Welcome Inn, our hostel for two days. We asked loads of people where it was, and with that a little Rastafarian man on a bike said 'I own it, follow me'. He pointed it out on a sign and with that we went with him. The hostel was gorgeous! So sweet and beachy! The rooms were white and turquoise with shells, really cute. The little Rasta man was even cuter! We got settled then headed out for lunch. There were some really nice restaurants all along the front. After lunch we sat on the restaurants' bean bags on the beach in front of it. We sat there for hours, just chilling. The sea was crystal clear and turquoise. There was a line of dark blue where there was a sheer drop in the sea bed. We could see the other Gili islands: Gili Meno and Gili Air from where we were sat they were so close. We ordered some cocktails at happy hour then one by one headed back for a shower. We then walked along a bit further to find a restaurants for dinner. We found a beachy restaurant with a bar in the shape of a boat. Dinner was lovely. We walked back to the hostel to get ready to hit the night strip. All of us were very tired as still haven't caught up on sleep from the night we got up at 1 for the volcano walk. We all decided to have a quick nap. An hour and half later, we were all still sleeping...out for the count. Sarah M (Masa as I now call her to stop all the confusion of two Sarahs) woke and asked what we were going to do, I think it was pretty clear. Like the old ladies that we are, we stayed in and caught up on our sleep. Out tomorrow night for sure!!
