Day 11 Thurs 8/6
Our second stop in Bali began. We made it to Gili Trawangan Island on the fast boat. It was a tough decision between slow or fast boat, but we chose the fast because it took only four hours, opposed to a whole day, and cost $15 more dollars than the slow boat. We walked around and found a room for $15 a night with two beds, so we took it. It's not the fanciest, lots of ants, no fresh water, and a bit of wood rot on the door knobs, but it will do. The island is gorgeous. I don't think I've ever seen a beach where you can see mountains on the next island over. We got there around 3 and got lunch and laid out for the rest of the day. Trawangan is supposed to be the party island, and it is pretty crowded, but I wouldn't say there were partiers everywhere. For dinner we walked down the beach trip to the local's set of a couple booths and ate there. We have zero idea what we ate, but it was good. It was some sort of noodles, veggies, chicken, and spices. Asian food is spicy! Afterwards we enjoyed some piña coladas on the beach and called it a night. The beach is lined with a street and all through the street there are shops, restaurants, dive places, and more. We've liked the restaurants on the beach that have the comfy chairs on the sand. The island feels like vacation.
