Day 184

Day 184

Our plan to dive today is cancelled because I’m having some kind of “reaction” to the dinner from yesterday… that burger was not 100% ok. So we’ll just spend the day resting in the hotel and walking around the village.

The Gili Islands are an archipelago of three small islands (Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air) just off the northwest coast of Lombok. Most local inhabitants live on Trawangan in a township stretching along its east side just inland (which is also where most recent development is taking place and it’s where we are staying). Automobiles and motorized traffic are prohibited on the islands by local ordinance, so the preferred method of transportation is by foot and bicycle or the horse-drawn carriage called a cidomo. That makes the reconstruction of the buildings a hard work for this people.

Again an incredible sunset…

Not long after we fall sleep I feel something extrange is going on… the windows are doing noises as someone is trying to enter. Then, when our neighbours start screaming I know. That was an earthquake!!!!! I have a useful app and I check it there. Affirmative, I felt a subtile tremor!!! I wake up Tià (he hasn’t felt it) to tell him, but he remains impassible sleeping. So I just spend the rest of the night awake just in case another one occurs, to be ready to run.
