Gili air island

I am now in the little island of Gili Air. This islands belong to Lombok (an island almost the size of Bali that sits to its east). There are three of them and seem to be very touristy.  Right now Gili Air does not have that much people as it is low season here. It is funny because the island is small and I keep on seeing the same people around again and again... I came yesterday, by boat from Bali, 3 hours. After disembarking, and checking in the hotel, I went for a walk around the island.  And when I say around I mean literally around the whole island, it must have taken at most a couple of hours.

It is amazing though. The beaches are very decent, and every cafe/bar/restaurant has a few chairs right next to the beach so that you sit 3 meters from the water. It is quite relaxing really.  Plus there is not that much to do, so....

The main attraction is the sea. I hired snorkel mask and fins and have been snorkeling around, seeing millions of little (and not so little) fish. I even saw a turtle. Now she was not small... it was even a bit scary.
I also thought about trying diving but then freaked out and gave up...

And shockingly enough,  I have also found a pretty nice place to do yoga!!!!

All and all this place is one in which I would not mind staying. My days consist of walkung in the beach, breakfast next to the beach, snorkelling, eating nice food (next to the sea, I just had a fat grilled prawn for 2 pounds...), walking some more... not bad hey??
