Tom & Jo's Excellent Adventure
Just had 4 nights on Gili Trawangan. Bit of a transport theme here, the boat crossing was a bit hairy to say the least! The boats they use really aren't meant for the open sea that's for sure. Island wasn't too busy so we could relax and spend the days on the beach and the evenings having a good feed and watching a movie in one of the dozens of private booths all the bars seemed to have. Jo won a couple of beers for predicting the England score against Paraguay - she does come in handy occassionally!!! We paid a visit to the full moon party which was great for 5 minutes - We are both far too old for all this raving and fire twirling!!! It seems all the hawkers on the beach know how to speak 'cockney mate'. Some classic phrases to note were 'jingle jangle Jimmy Saville' 'sweet as a nut' 'top banana' Me and Jon had some fun on the beach (not that kind) winding the sellers up by telling them we had only just said we were looking for one of those!!! You can have a laugh because they're only young guys and i think deep down they're happy to speak a bit of English! Not much else to report from the Gilis so until next time.......
