Gili Trawangan

The next stop on our trip was the small island of Gili Trawangan. It's one of three islands that have become quite popular in the last few years. They each have their own personality. Gili Air is super duper quiet and often dubbed the honeymoon island. Gili Meno is in the middle island and boasts some quiet spots but has more going on than Gili Air. Gili Trawangan, where we were headed, is the party island or backpacker's island. It wasn't so much a constant rave, but it had more going one than the other two and people our own age. Since leaving Kuta Beach we have definitely been in the minority age wise.

All three of these islands are special because they have no motorized transport. No cars, bikes or trucks. After you depart the boat your choices are to walk, bike or hire a horse and cart. The island is small and we had little problem getting around and finding accommodation. I didn't take a lot of pictures, but here are a few shots of the island.


The plush boat we took to get to the island. It was a comfy ride!


Beautiful beaches and water
