Lombok en Gili,
Indonesië


After recovering from a severe seasickness (and blood pressure of 135/180) I continued my journey through Lombok and... Damn! We rented some motorcycles and just went on adventure. No maps, no guides, no nothing... Just our eyes.
Somewhere during the trip we were about to take yet another corner with sheet-metal on the sides to prevent slipping in a steep cliff. For some curious reason I was curious what was behind the fence so we searched our way through. What we find behind it was just pure magic. Only the rainbows and unicorns were missing...
We were standing on a piece of land that went into the sea for about 500 meter. On our left side we were looking in a giant valley surrounded with the greenest mountains ever and full with palm trees. The valley ended at a white beach with overhanging palm trees and fishing-boats. On our right side we had a giant bay with - again - beautiful sapphire-blue water, white beaches and palm trees. The star of the sow was standing in front of us. In front of us the mighty Mount Agung of Bali guarded our horizon while breathing smoke (vapor?) into the blue sky.
