Gili Island- TURTLES 🐢

Yesterday- 4th June 2015 
This was the day I had been most excited for all week, going snorkeling! I've only ever done it on the shores in Greece so being out deeper was going to be different. 

 



We snorkelled in three different areas between the islands, with a slight moment half way to the third place when the boat engine decided to temporarily brake! The reefs were not as good as we were hoping in terms of fish, as there wasn't a huge amount going on down there however we did see quite a few turtles, which made my day. I love turtles and have never actually seen one in the sea before! 





We then spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing by the pool before heading off to a night market to get some grub. The market was pretty cool, with all your food cooked in front of you, and stands with amazing cakes and doughnuts for after. This was then followed by a few cocktails on a beach bar to finish our last night on the Gili Islands. And just to keep you all up to date with my tanning process, yes I did burn even with lots of sun-cream on! 


Gili Island- 'Paradise'

3rd June 2015 
We started at 8 this morning in order to get down to the waterfall before check out! It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen and we got to swim in it to. It was an experience I will never forget! 



We then took a 2 hour journey from senaru to the Gili Island where we finally got to go in the sea whilst eating for our food. (Yas and I were like the children for the group, going for a play!). When we arrived at our hotel Trawangan Oasis we were shocked to have more then basic with nice rooms, a pool and wifi that worked! Obviously the first thing we all did was jump in the pool! 





In the evening we had a lovely meal on the beach and few few drinks to end the day before heading back to our bed big enough for at least 5 people with a mozzie net and air con!
