Arrived safely in Bali on the 1st after 30 hours of travelling. The first night I spent time getting to know other people in the hostel and planning what to do the next day. We got up early and travelled towards the centre of Bali to the forest where there were loads of monkeys living in the old temples. We took along bananas and the monkeys were very interested! We quickly became covered in monkeys of all sizes trying to get them from us - the babies were fine but some of them were huge!
At the moment I'm on the island of Gili Trawangen just off Lokbok in Indonesia. Yesterday we left Bali at 5am and took 2 busses to Pedang bay before getting a ferry to Lombok and then a bus through the jungle road to the other coast. After a wait on the beach a small boatbcame along and we travelled over to Gili Trawangen. It is a very small island surrounded by a coral reef and white beaches. There are no vehicles on the island and the houses are more like huts with thatched or tin rooves. Today we hired gear and went snorkelling. The water was so warm and clear and there were so many fish with amazing colours. We are now just chilling out next to our hut and listening to the calls and singing from the temple near us! Tomorrow maybe more snorkelling to try to see the turtles that are common on the reefs or maybe hiring surf boards...
