The long road to Gili

On Friday we booked a slow boat ticket to Gili Trawangan. The trip was supposed to consist of a bus to Padang Bay and then a ferry to Gili Trawangan. We specifically asked if the ferry goes straight to Gili, and the answer was yes.

Everything went well (except for some delays in the schedule) until we were on the ferry and realized that it's heading towards Lombok. This meant that we had to take a bus to the northern part on Lombok, and then another boat to Gili. All in all we traveled for 12 hours, and it was so nice to finally reach Gili T. 

You can do a little detour like this too.

Waiting for the last boat ride. We felt the "travel agent" had chosen an appropriate name for his business.

The harbour area was interesting.

Finally we arrived to Gili in this boat sitting on a bag of ginger.

Luckily the rough day ended well. A warm meal and cold beer did the trick!
