After checking out the beach, I chartered a boat to go from the hotel's beach to a tiny island called Gili Meno.
I was amazed by the water color at Gili Meno.
I stayed at the Adeng-Adeng bungalows which was fantastically rustic and had A/C although the breeze would have have kept any place very comfortable. The food was great and the atmosphere was uber-relaxed.
I chilled by the beach watching the sun set over Gili Trawangan and Bali. Only two people passed by me for the hour I sat there. I eased back to the bungalows and spent the evening chatting with the Swedish owner, Anders after having some delicious grilled fish.
Then, the next day, I spent part of the morning snorkeling in the reef near the bungalows. I saw lots of coral and small colorful fish. I was hoping to see some sea turtles as they are quite common, but no luck this time. After lunch, I chartered another boat back to Lombok. The waves were bigger but the big wooden boat handled the white caps pretty well.
I had a fantastic time and had a pretty smooth trip all things considered. I definitely would love to come back and further explore Lombok.
