Early in the morning, we pack our bags for snorkeling trip and we went for breakfast. Breakfast buffet was very generous. We meet at the lobby at 9a.m before departing to the jetty. En route, the tour guide stop at several places so we can see the coastal line of Lombok and its mountain range.

We arrived Nipah Port  and board the boat. Ha, you might not expect this but this boat is actually a glass bottom boat. After 30 minutes boat ride, we reached the first island which is Gili Trawangan. This is what they dubbed as the ‘main’ island. It is the biggest of the three and this is where all hotels, chalets are pretty much centered. We disembark here to collect our snorkeling gear and the tour guide even give some snorkeling lesson. I went to snorkel and it does not work out because there is no fish at the beach and the tides are high. I tried to take photos with my Sony camera and then it wont turn on. I later found out my camera was water damaged due to broken seal. L

We made a long stop here. I manage to go to the Turtle house with baby turtles and we walk along the beach. The beach is full of massage parlours, tour counters, dive centers, bars and restaurant. I do not know why we stop very long here.

Next, we board the boat and stop off coast the Gili Meno. This is the snorkeling spot. It has beautiful coral gardens with plenty of fish. We snorkel and swim, spot nemos but the current and tides are still very very strong. I cut myself few times because of the corals. We then board the boat and went to Gili Air for lunch.

All of us eventually have lunch at this beach bar restaurant with alfresco dining. Quite expensive and the food taste just ok. Typical island food. The tour guide promises us to bring us to a second snorkeling spot but then he cancel because it was late. What? That was that one time that all of us were very angry. We were promised 2 spots but we only get 1. On the way back, the tides swell and there was some drizzling. We climbed on top of the roof and sat there during the journey back.

We reached the hotel and quickly wash ourselves, hang up the clothes for our BBQ Night. Before we actually do all that, Kak Tasha and I managed to jumped in the huge pool at the resort. We played some water polo and swim around. All of us join the same BBQ at the Sunset Restaurant. We ate on the beach with candle light. The seafood was good, there was even a bonfire. After dinner, we all decided to walk around this tiny town intending to look for souvenirs. We passed some spas, bars and ended up eating ice cream in front of the 7 Eleven. We then went back to the hotel and sleep.
