Snorkeling the USS Liberty, Tulamben (Bali, Indonesia) WW2 Shipwreck

November 19, 2023 by hollyGS

We woke up at 6:00 after a patchy sleep. We headed to breakfast at 7:00am, the earliest we could. We sat at bar stools facing out over the water. Jives had coffee and an omelette. All the options had meat, so I had a boiled egg and some toast. We headed back to our room and got into our snorkel gear. We headed down to the water at the back of our hotel, and then just slightly to the left […]

Arriving in Tulamben Bali Indonesia First Impressions

November 12, 2023 by hollyGS

After getting settled in our room, we walked just down the street a little to a shop where we bought some band-aids, nail trimmers, beer, coffee for the morning and some snacks.. you know, the essentials. We then walked to a little restaurant with a rooftop seating area and had some early dinner. Jives ordered pizza with fish, pineapple, mushrooms and onion and I had a tempe satay with rice and a delicious peanut butter satay sauce. We then walked […]

FAST BOAT to Bali Indonesia (Gili Air- Lombok- Bali)

October 22, 2023 by hollyGS

We woke up at 6am and packed our bags up. We then jumped on the bicycles, provided by our hotel , and headed to the port to use the ATM. There is only one working ATM on the island and it often runs out of money, as well there are often power cuts rendering the ATM pretty useless. The bike ride was lovely, as it was about 7:20 and only locals were out at this time. It was cool and […]

Sunset Picnic on GILI AIR, Lombok Indonesia

October 15, 2023 by hollyGS

After our delicious vegetarian meal, we packed our snorkel bag and set out for our third snorkel of the day, but this time further north on the east coast of the island, where we had seen the sea turtles on day one. We didn’t see any sea turtles, but we had fun and saw lots of fish and weird shaped coral (one shaped like a giant island with lots of colour corals growing out of it). The water was HOT […]

Biking around Gili Air (Our last day in tropical paradise)

October 8, 2023 by hollyGS

We woke up and had a few coffees before having breakfast, the same as yesterday, we made the eggs but we were also provided with fruit, bread, granola etc. We set out pretty early for a snorkel adventure, a bit before 10am.  We found a spot a bit further down the east coast from where we had snorkelled the day previous. We snorkelled for about an hour, and I saw quite a few clown fish (which I was told is […]

Beautiful Sunset Location on Gili Air, Lombok Indonesia (Snorkeling on the West Coast)

October 1, 2023 by hollyGS

After exploring the gorgeous waters on the east coast of Gili Air, we walked to the west coast of the island to snorkel, but the water was pretty wavy and it was difficult to see. I saw a lot of creepy snake-like creatures and an eel.  We then walked the rest of the way down the west coast of Gili Air to the port and bought four beers (the big bottles) at the store there for 164,000 which is very […]
