World Trip: Bali & Gili Islands January & February 2012

Now back to some beach time as we head in Bali from Java via ferry into Gilimanuk, and had a night there as no local buses were running at that time...Next day we managed to get a local mini van (Bemo) to Lovina our 1st beach town in Bali.

Lovina

We hired a moped for the day and headed up into the mountains to visit the Git Git Waterfall, Twin lakes, Buyan Lake and Tamingan Lake. WOW what great views high up here, only down side was the weather took a turn for the worst and we got soaked on the moped going up those windy roads with low clouds, fog, rain etc, was scary.....

Git Git Waterfall

What lovely weather!!!!!

Twin Lakes

Now we are heading to see a friend from Retford who now lives here in a village called Batu Belige, near Kerobokan and Kuta. Wow what a nice villa she has here we have definitely been spoilt here with a 4 poster bed and our own big bathroom, so different from our normal rooms he he!!!!

WOW what a big bed!!!!

Raining again, need my rain mac, He He!!!!

Hired a moped again and headed into Kuta and Simenyak for a spot of shopping, and also booked our fast ferry over to the Gili Islands.

Kuta Beach

Steve also tried a spot of surfing.

Cool Surf Dude!!!!

I can do this........

Oh yes we are off to the Gili Islands for a few days relaxing, snorkeling etc, oh and for Andrea,s Birthday.....Gili Islands re-visited for Steve. Started off on Gili Trawangan the largest Island of the 3 Islands. Very nice place, little more busier than it was 12 years ago, but still nice...

Gili Trawangan

No cars allowed!!

WOW, what a sunset!!!

Nice...

After a couple of days we headed over to Gili Air, smaller Island, not quite as busy and developed as Gili Trawangan, more remote feel about the place... This is where we are spending Andrea's Birthday. We found a lovely traditional Balinese Pod to live in with fantastic sea views and nice relaxing atmosphere...

Our Pod.....

Happy 40th Birthday Andrea........What a great day spent snorkeling and swimming with the turtles, few beers and pizza, get in!!!!! At the end of the night met a nice couple Mizza & Ryhs from Perth, Australia who offered us to come and stay with them when we arrive next week. What a nice thing to do...
