Gili Islands. Gili trawangan in particular.

“For almost half a year in Bali, but on the neighbouring islands of Gili were not?”. This issue we are embarked in late March.

Agreed with the newly acquired friends Dima and go for the Oley, promising to be paradise, Island.

IN 6:30 in the morning we took a van from the House and present in the port city of Padang Bai. There's a 9:30 we boarded a boat and sailed away. There we were traveling on the lower deck, watching the splashes, raised by boat through the window.

The weather was good, wave was almost no, got to Lombok on a schedule – in 11:00:

From There 15 minutes to Gili and here we are on site.

From the boat to go all had the stern to the nose along the narrow ledge along the side:

The first thing we saw on arrival – It is plenty of local, advertising their service, most advertised homes. Still, the island is a tourist, about as Bali, only smaller.

We had a plan for housing, we went to check selected earlier houses on employment. Finding refuge, We went to the North of the island, There, where promised a beautiful Reef and, Accordingly,, good snorkelling.

First, that catches the eye – This lack of dogs on the island. Explain it to, the Gili Islands are inhabited by Muslims, who consider dogs unclean animals and therefore do not keep them at home. To us it was just nice (in Bali, If anyone knows of, a lot of stray dogs).

The Second – non-motorized transport. Small island, no need to. Tourists carry shopping carts, horse-drawn sleigh.

The Third – It is very similar to Gili Trawangan Olkhon!

If not for the occasional Palm tree, It would not have.

Great views of the neighboring island of Lombok:

Once on the island, all as if poluzabrošennoe, unfinished, nedovedënnoe to mind. Construction is not, nedostroev a lot, the road around the island in a pickle, No one collects rubbish at the half of the island neturističeskoj.

But all these drawbacks are outweighed by the beauty of the underwater world:

And the beauty of the images made there:

Here the fish looks at me expectantly:

Find recessed paddle:

The greatest (most us) and nepuglivuû fish found. They Say, This is koralloed (stonecrusher):

After we dogulâli remnant shorelines.

They could not do without spiders:

Along the way I have opened “Coral vision”:

 

In the evening we took the bikes, swept over the island overnight, the next morning again ponyrâli with fish and headed back home, in Bali.

Gili Trawangan near there are two similar Gili Meno and Gili Air, but we have visited, so don't say anything about them.

View on Gili Trawangan with water:

On the way back we obmazalis′ sunscreen and stayed on the top floor – Open deck.

Already podplyv to Bali we saw a sailboat on the water:

The waves were bigger this time and a quarter of the way was like a free attraction with overloads, was cool!

Still on the road several times seen back rybin, выглядывающие из воды метрах в 50 from the boat.
Alena says, What were the dolphins. У меня уверенности нет, но рыбины были немаленькие!
