Day 51: Gili Family
This morning, our official last day here (we don’t have any more days to spare!), we started off the morning with breakfast and then some snorkeling in front of our bungalows. We made it out really far with the current, and saw some cool creatures, but the coolest was a huge spotted stingray just gliding through the water like a butterfly. It was so gracious and elegant, we felt so lucky to have been able to catch a glimpse of it in the open waters.
Unfortunately, the current took us quite far out into the water, and we had a really (really) hard time getting back. Gaurav did not have fins so it was especially hard to fight the current. When we finally got back to shore, completely and utterly exhausted, we hung up our snorkel gear for good (for now)!
We walked over to the South of the island to grab a bite to eat and book some things for the next few days. Afterwards, we headed back to our bungalows and hung out with the staff (our new little family). We showed them an Indian movie on our computer (they love Indian films) and they knew the lyrics to all the songs! Around midnight, we went back out to the beach to see if the turtles would come, but alas, no such luck. Tonight, we’ll dream of them instead!
