Cool stuff:
  • Lunch on our snorkelling trip on Gili T, bracelet seller approached us, and Paish expected me to get rid of him, but actually he was such a nice guy we bought around 6 bracelets off him!
  • Amazing snorkelling on our own boat! So beautiful, cool turtles, so clear.
  • Hangry!
  • Stopped for Churros after dinner - chatted for ages with the guys who were pretty new, and I had to tell them how to make a coffee
  • Lovely ice cream from one of the many ice cream stands on the street

Interesting stuff:

  • Long taxi ride to a crazy Padang Bai. Locals trying to make money carrying our bags. Local breakfast, and we bought a few snacks for the ferry. Even though we bought tickets, we need to pay more to just get on the pier - crazy times!
