Our five nights on Lombok had us raring for some excitement. Other than driving from beach to beach, there was little to do on the south end of the island, if you weren't a surfer accustom to surfing reef breaks. Our adventures on the scooter we rented were interesting. Traveling through traditional villages, past vast fields of tobacco and mines, and avoiding pieces of glass left on the road by giggling village children.
We did visit some pretty phenomenal pristine and empty beaches, but we were excited to visit the Gilis, small islands the larges, Gili Trawangan, 6 km around.

We travelled up to the West Coast of the Island through lush forests where tourists stopped their taxis on the narrow roads to view the many relatively tame, but devious forest monkeys.
A 10,000Rupiah, 25 minute "slow boat" ride had us in Gili T, the "Party Island", where we would spend the next 5 nights at the English-owned Pesona Resort (http://www.pesonaresort.com/).
