Day 183

Day 183

This morning someone will take us to the harbour to take the ship to Gili Trawangan. The minibus shows up surprisingly puntual, but that’s the only good thing of the day… It takes 3 hours to reach to the harbour (double than we have been said) and once there we find out that we are going with another ship, not the one that we paid (of course we get a worse one).

I’m not tall and my legs don’t fit!

The sailing is not pleasant at all. In fact, it is quite scary. There are large waves and we move as a nut shell. I can feel that the people is getting more and more scaried. The thing is that in Indonesia is not uncommon that a vessel sinks, so I think we are all thinking the same until we finally reach the beach in Gili T.

As usual we have neither a plan neither a hotel, so we just follow a nice guy who says that he offers a good price and a clean room. As it is true we take it.

Last August we heard something about an earthquake in the region, and now we are facing the consequences. As we walk through the streets with our new friend he shows us some destroyed buildings. At the same time he says that we shouldn’t worry about that, because everything is fine now.

The building in front of our hotel:

Once installed we head to the diving school to arrange the dives for the next days. Afterwards, we go to the beach to see the sunset. I don’t know what happens in this region of the world but everyday the sunsets are a party of colours!
