Had breakfast at 9:30, dry bread for toast and a raw undeveloped chicken for an egg! Life as a traveller is so luxurious!
Still, we've not eaten and this maybe the only meal we get today!! The first ATM we went to, declined us yet again! I couldve cried at the thought of what were gonna do, i was sure it should'veworked! We figured it was worth a try one more time on the way home and it suddenly worked! 1,000,000.00Rupei withdrawn! Gotta make the most of it!
Sunbathed on the island all day and got well and truly burned! The sea is really warm in the shallow areas and it looks amazing going from crystal clear, to turquoise blue! I think it's the most beautiful sea I've seen in SEAsia but just a shame that the sandy beach is cluttered! Not just with litter though, the majority is crushed dead coral and twigs and leaves from the palm trees!
We ate pizza on the beach at a beech resort club, we wanted to eat local food but the waiter was ranting on about the new pizza stove they've just finished building last week! I half expected a topping of concrete coming from the contraption and it didn't taste too dissimilar!
In the afternoon we booked a snorkelling trip for tomorrow! For the full day on a glass bottom boat we make three stops, one at a shipwreck off of our island; Gilli Trawangan, then to turtle cove off of Gilli Meno, a slightly smaller island mext door where 'Razor' the tour operator promised Id get to shake hands with one! Then finally we eat at the smaller, less inhabited, Gilli Air Island and then snorkel with giant clams along the coral reef!
#imsoexcited!
Went home to get showered and blathered half a bottle of after sun on my red bits = my whole front body!
Just when I thought my eyebrows couldn't get any thinner, the sun came out and Demolished every last follicle visible! I now have two strands of blonde above my eyes, I look albino! Where's my beauty therapist of a mum when I need an eyebrow tint!?!?
Went to eat at a beech hut in the evening and stick to local Indonesian fried noodles, Mie Goreng! It's almost like Thailands Pad Thai but with fried egg on top, prawn crackers and skewers of chicken on the side!
We got back to the room and seen as we were so happy with having access to our money again we pushed the boat out with two bags of m+m's! Stayed in and watched tv all night together seen as we've not seen tv in over 2 months. Our guesthouse owns a stack of the most random DVDs so we ended up with, 'I love you Phillip Morris' hilarious!
Not taken a malaria pill in weeks now so I think we're giving up and throwing them out! I can't be doing with the headaches and nausea all the time! Most travellers say they'd rather have Malaria as the side effects are less than that of the pills! Also three full packs of these giant capsules takes up so much space in my rucksack I could fit 4 new shirts in there instead; sold! I'd rather die looking good!
