Indonesia Island Trip. Day 2: Gili Trawangan

The 3 islands and Teluk Nara Port to the south
While Nu'man and I were looking for bike rental yesterday, Amin approached us and offered a snorkeling trip to the 3 nearby islands, Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air. I promised to meet him today 9 am at the hotel lobby.

We stopped at the three island and spent our time leisurely as it was private boat rental. Included two stops for deep see snorkeling and one within the turtle conservation area.

Among the islands, the Gili Air was the most serene and in fact the beach was so fascinating. I would recommend to stay here if you're looking for a peaceful and quietness.

After the noon, we headed back to Gili Trawangan. The half-day snorkeling trip left us with memorable moment and exciting activities, especially Nu'man.

We cycled to the Ombak Sunset Resort after resting the whole afternoon. And stopped at one of the beach cafe, quite near to the resort, witnessing the sunset views. Then, we had a dinner at Warung Melati, recommended by Amin. The restaurant located near to Gili Trawangan's night market, but a bit away from the tourist sight.

Journey Review

Thinking of the same idea as what Zarin did in his wrapping up post, I'll do the same for the sake of my own record.  This post will be updated from time to time. Some of the trip may have a  specific write-up  and you may click on the travelling month. Here is the world travel map, courtesy of TripAdvisor. A bit of Statistics: Total countries visited = 22/195 [Last updated : September 2023] Our Travel Map. [Courtesy of TripAdvisor. According to them, we only covered 13% of the Earth at the moment :P .... still long way to go and we didn't show USA map as to when we will be there]

Indonesia Island Trip. Day 1: Lombok - Gili Terawangan

Sarapan pagi  kat airport We had been rotating to visit the Southeast Asia country each year and this is the fourth time visit to Indonesia after Bali (2010),  Bukittinggi (2012) and Bandung (2014). Looks like we made a return every 2 years, that's interesting! We may need to consider other countries like Brunei, Philippines or Cambodia in the near future. Three hours later, we arrived Lombok International Airport at noon. We were welcomed by Pak Ibrahim's staff shortly after clearing immigration and collecting our luggage. The weather that day was slightly overcast. En route to Teluk Kodek Port, we stopped at Sukarara Weaving Village. By the time we reached there, it was raining heavily. It is a traditional craft of weaving center located in Lombok West Nusa Tenggara. Not much seen as it felt, we had  ayam taliwang for lunch at Taliwang Alam Nyaman restaurant, known for its famous local dish. Alpukat Jus (Avocado Juice) is also a must try whenever you vi...

Singapore Trip: A lion-city escapade

Watch out! It is a zika-free :P trip to the city of light that we had on the 2nd mid-term school holiday, apart from the 'balik kampung' to Ipoh and JB on both week end. My wife managed to secure a stay for 2 nights at the 'Rumah Peranginan Persekutuan' where it supposed to be a big family trip with my siblings.  It was a big vacation house, which I believe can cater at least 15-20 people. For some reasons, they had to turn it down. Note: Pictures taken are not in the best quality as I'm still get my hands on the new DSLR camera.. wink.. wink..
