Me, Kak Tri, and Damar arrived in Gili Trawangan after using boat for 45 mins. We arrived at 1 pm. Sadly, we lost our opportunity to snorkel. If we wanted to, we must payed higher. We didn't know what to do so we decided to walk around. I thought this island would be as nice as I imagined, but it wasn't. It only took more than an hour to walk around this island. All I saw was cimodo's shit. At first, you will see a lot of bar. But as you go futher and futher, there will be no bar or hotel. There will be an abandoned land with lots of trash.
We decided to took a rest in Funny Homestay for only IDR 100K / 3 person HAHAHA. I felt sorry to the owner because Damar found his friend who works in Sama Sama Bar. She offered us to take a rest at her home hahaha. She recently married to a man called Dory who works as a tour guide in Salanamo Adventure. She was a barista before and made a kahlua plus -I didn't know what she added- hahaha. We only did the chit chat because there was no activity we could do as we planned only to snorkel and went back to Mataram.
Kedok, their pampered cat
At night, Bang Dory gave us bicycles so we could cycle around at night yoohoo. Night in Gili Trawangan is just like in Bali. Full of foreign tourists partying hard. There was a man in Sama Sama Bar getting high. Bang Dory told us that he maybe ate magic mushroom cause his imagination was really wide. Well, I read about magic mushroom before. That thing is actually allowed in Indonesia before. There was a lot of bar sold shrooms in Gili Trawangan. Since 2014, Indonesian policy doesn't allow that. But still it can be found easily.

The next day we woke up and ready to snorkel. We got on a boat full of foreign tourist. There were a newly wed couple with their daughter from Indonesia in front. They didn't really get with us, maybe they're more religious than us base from their look, hmmm. At the tail side there were about 5 people Chinesse-born-Indonesia-study-Australia who took a lot of pic (Vic said).
I met Victoria, a girl from Italy, who works as a kindergarten teacher in Hongkong. She is really beautiful with a tatto in her back. Most westerns here have tattoos. She went to Indonesia alone and had spent 5 days in Gili Trawangan. She said that she got a lot of fun here. Each bar has its time for a week. For example, on Monday there's a big party in XX Bar, Tuesday YY Bar, Wednesday ZZ Bar, and so on. That time was her last day in Gili Trawangan. She was interested in snorkeling but always late the last 5 days -_- I didn't know what she was doing as she doesn't smoke and drink. Maybe she is just a party-goer.
There is a group from (real) China. They went to Yogyakarta, Surabaya, Bali, and Lombok. The conclusion I made from talking with them was that I really hate their pronoun when saying Yogyakarta. Seriously, Chinesse or Korean or any other Asians were trying so hard to say Yogyakarta. There was a couple in front of me from Australia. Beautiful and handsome people haha, perfect.
There is also a unique couple, maybe from Europe but I didn't know the exact country. The man was like an actor. The woman didn't snorkel. She brought a float, and floating aroung -_- The rest were just being normal hahahaha.
The first spot was just like any other sea. The second spot was the place that we all could see turtles. I only saw two turtles. A man from China said that maybe the turtles are placed by the locals hahaha. That's what I actually thought since I expected more from Lombok.
In Gili Air, we landed and had lunch. I took lunch in a gazebo. The food was kinda expensive. I forgot
that western portion is much bigger than Indonesian. I couldn't eat all
of them, my moneyyyyy T.T
The last spot was AWESOME. Although rain poured, it was nothing than the beauty of underwater world of Gili Air. I thought I will spend the night in Gili Air if I come there again. The atmosphere is more calm and natural.
After we landed in Gili Trawangan again, we rushed to Bang Dory's house and took a bath. We rushed to the harbor and finally got back to Lombok island. After that, things are just miraculous... Just wait!
