Lombok, Indonesia 22nd October 2008

After a few more days just lazing around on Gili Air, we got the boat over to Singiggi on Lombok. It’s a very pretty town but really expensive. It’s about twice the price of Bali for just about everything here, which explains why it’s almost empty.

We had a funny moment when we got off the boat from Gili Air. We were all travelling with different bus companies so Sven and Adam got straight on the first bus they came to and we were sent half way down the road with our big rucksacks moaning about the heat. We had to wait in a restaurant so we decided to have breakfast and a drink. After about 45 minutes they came and got us and made us walk back down the road to the bus that Sven and Adam had been waiting on in the heat for 45 minutes, whilst being hassled by loads of kids selling crap. When they heard that we’d had breakfast they were gutted (we thought it was funny anyway).
