It was early in the morning we left
Ubud and travelled to Gili Air which is one of three islands of Lombok. It took
4 hours in total by boat. The travelling was not bad but it was a hot day. I
said to Jane on the slow boat " It`s alright babe, it won`t be so hot and
stuffy once we get moving.”
When we got to Gili Air it was still
quiet so we were able to get a bungalow near the beach for about $ 15 a night
plus breakfast. We shared our room with quite a number of geckos. Some of them
were quite large ones.
The weather was still hot when I
went diving. Jane waited for me at the seashore. She observed some fishermen
who had just caught some fish. She did not want to dive because she had a
trauma with sea animals. We had three days here which we spent walking around
the island which takes about an hour. Every night, we sat on the couches near
the beach and watched the waves and the stars.
It
was a fantastic journey that I ever had.

My Holiday in
Flores
I
went to Flores last month. I went there to visit Australian Volunteer English
teachers in Maumere, Ende and Bajawa. As a result, I also enjoyed the beauty of
the island.
I
started my first day in Maumere with Jo Keating. After visiting several schools
in the city, we took an amazing journey over the mountains to the south coast.
We visited a new junior high school there. Then, I traveled to Ende to meet
Sharon Kidman. Ende has a great market with a lovely selection of traditional
woven ikat cloth, and great seafood. My next trip was to Detusoko. It is a
mountain village. I went there with Ginny Edwards. Detusoko is not far from
Mount Kelimutu. We woke up at 4 am to see the three different coloured lakes at
dawn. It was truly inspiring.
My
final trip was to Bajawa. It is a small town high in the mountains. It was a
very cold place. Yet my trip was fun and memorable. I would like to go back to
Flores one day.
