Tues 24th - Sat 28th June (Week 40)Tues 24th - Left our KL hotel at 8:30, bus back to KLIA2 which is just vast, and took us ages to figure out where to go, but it is lovely, modern and new. (Flight 39) Our 11th Air Asia flight and first one that has been delayed, but only by just over an hour. Took off at 1:20 and landed in Langkawi at 2:10. Got a taxi for the short distance to our rather basic accommodation in the most popular beach area on the island - Pantai C...

Thurs 19th - Mon 23rd June (Week 39-40)Thurs 19th - Up at 6, checked out of our lovely hotel at 7 and got a free transfer back to the airport. Everyone was on edge that our plane was going to be delayed again, and despite assurances yesterday that they were putting on an extra flight just for us, the 9am passengers seemed to be bumped off their flight in favour of us ! Felt bad, and wonder how long they will have to wait ! Our flight did actually arrive at 9:15, ...

Sun 15th - Wed 18th June (Week 39)Sun 15th - Spent the day wandering around Labuan Bajo, checking out restaurants, and enquiring at 5 dive shops about prices and dive locations. Booked 2 days diving with Flores Dive Centre as it is meant to be excellent for diving here, and not too many other options for land-based day trips. Its a really small town, so kept bumping into everyone from our 3-day cruise in various shops. Met up with Tanja from the cruise for sunset...

Thurs 12th - Sat 14th June (Week 38)Thurs 12th - Left Gili Air on the 7:30am boat across to Bangsal Harbour, then a minibus transfer to Senggigi. Met up with the rest of the 25 people on the Perama 3 day cruise, and headed off across Lombok towards the East coast. Made a short stop at a pottery place and watched how they make the items, and the finished results. Some lovely pieces, but just too difficult to carry home. Arrived at Labuan Lombok at 12:30 and ...

Sat 7th - Wed 11th June (Week 38)Sat 7th - Checked out of My Gili Cottages and walked down to the harbour at 9:30am. Caught the Island Hopping boat across to Gili Air, and were pleasantly surprised by the ample room, and actual wooden seats on the boat - a very different experience from our inbound boat ! Were met at the harbour and walked the 10mins to our new place in the middle of the island. Beautiful room, lovely gardens, and we are the only ones here ! Head...
