Confusing Gili

We stayed on Gili Trawangan for four nights in total. Everyone told us that Gili is paradise, but when we came there it turned out a bit different than we thought (more rugged and rough).


What surprised us the most was that there where quite a lot of tourists. The main road that went along the beach was full of restaurants, shops, diving places and fancy resorts. 


When we walked a few blocks towards the center of the island everything changed. The streets were dirty and the locals lived in poor conditions. It was strange to see how huge differences there were, side by side.




But of course Gili was a nice place, with white sandy beaches, turquoise water and warm weather.


When we came back to Kuta we met Ilkka who is studying in Bali at the moment. We had dinner together and it was our last night in Indonesia. Next up Singapore with Stella!
