Relaxation


Day 50: Gili Air

We got up this morning, had some breakfast, and walked over to the East side of the island to snorkel in another area. The snorkeling was great there as well, and we saw so many fish out in the water!

Then we walked over to the North side and had some lunch before going back to our place. We relaxed on the beach by our bungalows, and watched while they prepared for a “sunset party”. We had dinner on the beach and then after the sunset, they lit a bonfire and we all sat around and enjoyed the evening together, chatting with people who stopped by, and just relaxed.

The whole day was so relaxing that we decided to stay here yet another night! It’s great not to have a schedule! This is the life! 

Around midnight, we headed out to a spot on the beach where turtles usually come on full moon nights to lay their eggs. It was a beautiful walk, and we didn’t even need flashlights because the moon lit up the beach so brightly. We didn’t see any turtles, but it may be because the moon was not exactly full yet (we were a bit unsure). Maybe tomorrow!
