We arrived here around 4pm so after we had some food and a shower we went out for some drinks. We ended up sat on bean bags on the beach watching live music when we saw a couple called Rose and Justin that we had seen in Seminyak, and got chatting to them. They invited us for drinks back at their villa so we got on the back of their push bikes which was a very bumpy and dangerous ride in the dark. The villa was so nice – it was a tree house with 2 rooms with ensuites, a pool, cool sunbeds, a swing and more… and they said we could stay for the 2 nights they were there!! We woke up to one of the best breakfasts we have had and we got to use pushbikes to get around the island for free aswell so we were buzzing.
The next day after our breakfast we headed back to our shabby room to get some clothes and stuff to take back to the villa, went snorkelling and met back up with Rose and Justin at sunset beach where we watched sunset and had some drinks. Later, we all got some food at the night market and then went back to the villa. There are no cars on the island so we have been cycling to and from everywhere. The other way to get around is horse and cart.
The next day Rose and Justin left so we went back to our guesthouse then had a beach day. In the evening we went to an outdoor beach cinema where they had beanbags and we watched Bohemian Rhapsody.
On our final day we had another beach day, did more snorkelling (there is soooo many turtles here!) and in the evening ended up in an Irish bar watching live music!
Gili Trawangan is somewhere we definitely want to come back to for a beach holiday! We loved it!
