It's Friday today so our last day to see something so we can have a full day of sunbathing on the beach tomorrow before heading back to Bali on Sunday and being busy busy!
We decided to go on a bycicle ride around the Island; just the two of us, how romantic! Or at least it would have been if they'd invent a bike that didn't sink in sand!
Ever rode a bike through quicksand before? It's harder than you think! I peddled so hard until the wheels just sank in and I nearly went head first over the handle bars and into a spiky cactus garden!
We assumed there would be a path right the way around but clearly not! Makes it more special this way though, they were a few hidden hide-aways with honey-mooners having pic-nics on there private beach's!
It's supposed to take 2 hours to go all the way around the Island and it took us three! Only because we kept stopping for photos on the way of the beautiful mountains on the next Island; Gilli Meno!
There is some Georgous hotel/spa/resorts on this island with infinity swimming pools going out to sea and beautiful guests lounging around with their fake boobs out! Couldn't think of anything worse than staying in a place like this now!
It's so fake and you could be staying anywhere in the world! Plus, these people are so disrespectful; this island is 90% Muslim!
I would now much rather stay in a small local bungalow guesthouse like ours, ran by a local family we're we learn a thing or two about local culture just by talking to them! Gone are the days when I used to book all inclusive holidays in mega complexes in Egypt!
Although id be lying if I said I didn't want to jump into the pool right now!
We stopped half way, to have a drink at a restaurant on the beach front. We got to choose from many available private huts in the sand to relax in the shade! Today's cover photo is me messing around in our hut!
We collected loads of coral that had washed up here too, some bright blue peices that had clearly just washed up last night but, by the time we got home, they had dried up and bleached white!
After we finished riding our bikes around the whole island, or in some parts; dragging our bikes through boiling hot quicksand... We decided to go back to the same restaraunt to relax in the hut before returning the bikes 6:00!
We layed out all afternoon writing blogs and soaking up sun! This is the life!
All until, later when Annie's mum found out that her card has been blocked for the 5th time we've been here and that she has to sort it out with the bank as there's no phone on this island for us to do it!
