Indonesia is a massive country with thousands of islands and communities. We only managed to explore a small part of this fascinating country. Our starting point was Lombok and we had originally planed to do the trek up the volcano, Rinjani. This didn’t quite come off and instead we explored the lower levels which turned out to be quite beautiful with amazing waterfalls, markets and wildlife.
Next it was the short boat ride to Gili Air. You have to be careful what you call paradise as Gili Air is so small you wouldn’t want to live there but for a five day visit it was just that, paradise. Sun sand and diving what more could you ask for. We spent our last night before the flight back to Singapore on Bali and didn’t really get much of a feel for the place so we will leave that for another trip.
