Hello!!!
Hope everyone is good. Hopefully all the new piccies have gone up Ok, I keep meaning to add captions but it takes so long!! Charlie can explain what some of them are to a few of you!
We have spent the last few days on the Gili islands which are absolute paradise. It was quite emotional stepping of the boat and wading through the water to the island!! It is literally the perfect desert island with white sand, coral reefs and turquoise sea.
We stayed in a very nice hotel on Gili Trawawngen (thank you for booking it marve!) called Oasis Trawangen for the first night which was luxury and we actually slept well!! The people who ran it were aussies and very helpful, they let us use their bikes for the first 2 days which was good as not cars or motorbikes are allowed on the islands. We had to get about by horse and cart, bike or - shick horror - walking!! The first day we swam in the bathwater warm sea and played in the pool at the hotel which was soooooo lovely as it was in a coconut grove. The daughter of the aussie couple took a real liking to charlie and spent about an hour chasing him, aroudn the pool!!
The next few days were apent doing our new found sport, snorkelling!!! The reefs were AMAZING and we saw so many incredible fish! But we were a bit too scared to go out to the sea wall and see the turtles which was a shame but I might try again in Malaysia now I've kind of got the hang of it!
We pretty much lived of fresh BBQed seafood on the island as the fishermen bought back fresh fish every day, charlie was in his element! It was meant to be the party isalnd but there were only 2 decent bars which weren't charging ridiculous prices. We met some cool people while we were there and had a good night out at Rudys bar. There was one called Scallywags but it looked a bit pricey for our budget.
The few days on thye Gilis were just perfect and we hope to go back to paradise one day soon.
Xx
