Our taxi to Gili Meno

We’ve moved on to the island of Lombok, where we’ll be spending most of our time there on the nearby Gili Islands – 3 small islands that offer visitors completely different experiences.

Gili Meno, at only 1 km wide, and 2 km long, is the epitomy of seclusion – tiny thatch roof huts dot the beaches, with a few basic restaurants scattered about. It sounds like a perfect honeymoon – unless you consider the bed bugs, the b.o.-scented sheets, the thousands of black flies and the stifling heat and humidity in the huts. Two days of our lives we will unfortunatley, never get back.

TAXI!

Gili Trawangan, the largest of the islands at a whopping 3 x 2 km, saves the Gilis for us. It’s known as the party island – and we all know that Brel likes a good party. Stylish (and clean!) accomodations – infinity pools, private gardens, poolside cabanas.  Beautiful beaches. Great restaurants, bars and nightlife. In-room massages for $12.

We’re taking advantage of all that Gili T has to offer, as we wind down and prep for our upcoming return to the new world.
